Flood '09

The flood this year has been very chaotic. When my parents first told me about it I didn't think it was too serious. I realized when they canceled class for two weeks that it must be. My house is located just three blocks away from the river. Thankfully my house is alright, at least for now. My family spent a week at my lake cabin. I would have rather been in town and go to class than at my lake.Thankfully our community has worked together and thousands of people volunteered sandbagging. I don't understand why we haven't built a better dike after the flood in 1997. Hopefully this doesn't happen again this year!
