Sure many of you have been there but just drove 1700 miles to help my mom shore up her house. Lives in McCook lake which is a couple miles from the dunes area in Sioux City Ia. Expecting the Missouri river to breach it's 500 year flood levels by 3'. Been filling and laying sand bags all day. Amazing to see helicopters, national guard and all the busyness. Water should hit it's high June 14th but worse part is it will stay that high through August! This is an area that was not ever expected to flood and expecting 6-8 ' of water at her house. Mother nature ain't happy this year.
, thank God she can fend fer herself most of the time and her big burly son only has to provide when things get insurmountable.
