Flood Warning

The river is rising
There's no time to lose.
Gather the valuables,
What do I choose?
Shall I run?Shall I stay?
Will it flood?Go away?
You're not here to help me decide.
I'm in danger, with no place to hide.

My neighbor just stopped,
We're going to see water.
He says I should leave and
Stay with my grand-daughter.
Wish I lived in a tower,
I'll just shut off the power.
Take my good dog and we'll run away
To find a high place we can stay.

Dear Joyce:  We have been hearing about the flooding problems on the west side of the state, but didn't realize it was effecting your area.  I heard there was as much as 6 inches of rain in some places.  No wonder it's flooding.  Good luck and hope your place is not damaged in any way! Will look forward to a report soon!

Love
Betty Lou

I'm home now, safe and my place was untouched.  The river crested  2 feet lower than predicted or it would have reached me. I stayed with my granddaughter in Mount Vernon who is near the river but on higher ground.  The water came to her driveway and her neighbors lower down were inundated I live in the flood plain but it takes a break in the dike to cause me trouble most years. They fully expected the dike to weaken and let water through.  I am so thankful.  It took me a long time to get home today as the west side bridge was closed and I had to go way around. Love, Joyce

Joyce:  This is good news!  I just responded to a reply you left on a poem but hadn't read this message yet, so didn't know you were home.  So glad you are safely home and no damage there.
