a update for people.
On Wednesday morning they were predicting the river to crest at 22.1 feet. By noon on the same day that jumped to 24.5.
When I left the facility that night the level was at almost 23 feet. Buildings were a couple feet from being in danger still. Fast forward to now the river is now at 30.9 feet and expected to crest at 32 feet. I have no clue how bad it is there as we could not get anywhere close today. I can only assume most if not all of the buildings are underwater now.
The city here is completely devastated nearly 4000 homes flooded. 100 city blocks downtown underwater. Water supply at critical levels with only 1 of the 4 wells in the city still running.
On the news tonight they said the last well was in danger and they needed volunteers badly to save the cities water supply. Within 20 mins there was 1200 people there, and they were turning people away. I was wading in water past my knees building the wall, and it appears it worked to.
