The Mississippi River currently stands at 58.48 feet, its highest-ever recorded level. It is expected to continue rising until it reaches a height of 64 feet May 21.
Even at this level, there is many areas that is already flooded. Woods, Fields, Everything is already full of water, and the water have no where to go >>>>
We've been moving some equipment to the Mississippi hills. We have been steady loading and
moving the things that we can to higher ground. The RTV is now on high ground. We are not alone. The whole towns is sturring like crazy. Not knowing. Waiting. Doing all they can do.
They have done sent some National Guardsmen in ..... Helicopters and some equipment.
The Govenor flew in on a chopper the other day to take a look at things.
I am so tired. But will not give up. For I know, there is more going to be lost
that can be saved already, don't need to make it worse. Everything one has worked for all his life, will be Gone.
My plans are to get my wife and our little ones, two king charles spaniels, cat, and love bird
over to the Mississippi hills. My grown children are already staying now in Mississippi. Told them to get what they can and leave their places. My daughter lives in Austin Texas now, thank God.
We are not the only community touch by this, it is all up and down this river. Farmers, contractors, all people from all walks of life is fixing to get hit hard.
The levees up above us is the ones in the worst shape. Even if the levee breaks above or
below, all in the area will feel the effect.
I will return................
Staying and guarding our place. Parking the pontoon boat close to the shop. Will have a Onan generator on board. Keeping a guns., ammo, food/fresh water handy, along with spare fuel. For plans is to stay with the home until water goes down. We are less than a mile from the levee. Just hope it holds. There is seppage water aready flowing under the levees. It is fixing to get serious. Backwater is going to be another thing that is going to take it toll.
Can not tell my wife what I really feel like what is going to happen. But, I do keep telling her everything is going to be alright. I heard her crying during the night last night over this. It is in Gods hands now.
