floods of 2008

So I thought all this flooding was bad when the carpet in my basement was soaking wet last week, but now I know it's really bad and only going to get worse.....

Des Moines released the emergency levy on Saylorville Lake last night at 10 pm which basically means that all that water (lots and lots of water) will flow into the Des Moines river whichs runs through downtown and it will be there my 10 this morning. I feel really bad for the people who live downtown near the river because they were all told to evacuate for their own safety. I have been contemplating helping with sandbags but my boyfriend told me that I would not be of any help to them because I have no body strength :(

In better news, the Cubs won yesterday! GO CUBBIES!
