flooding
- Thread starter Peanut
- Start date
My fingers are crossed in hope that all goes better than expected.
Greenville Ms - MS River 5/10/11
Two Guns definitely is threatened by the rising water. Last I heard he was packing. Keep him in your thoughts.
Here's a picture from the Greenville MS Bridge.The river has not crested yet. The top picture is a grain loading facility deep in water. The bottom picture show the water nearing the levee top. Those trees you see are normallly dry and grassy underneath. I was there today and took these crossing the new bridge. I also saw folks building levees around their houses - these folks lived near the areas with backwater flooding. Good Luck to you too Peanut - if you don't have flood insurance, do you have time to elevate your home enough?? bordercollie

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.

Peanut,
You are fixing to see alot more water, even if they don't open the gates. There is
much water coming down the pipe my friend. You fixing to see some things they thought
would never happen.
Don't ever give up !!!!
they was showing the cracks in the levee on the new tonight.some of them go down almost 2 feet.they seemed to be about 65 yards long.it's gonna get real bad if that levee goes . they came today to plug up a canal at the end of the road that way the pumps can try to keep it all in the swamps.
@ doggman, yea, it's hard to believe the water is so close to the levee top. Here's another picture showing the expanded water-
@ Peanut, I wish you the best of luck -that water is crazy bad.
@Two Guns, You and the family will be in my prayers- the pups ,bird and cat too . Be careful out there. bordercollie
