Yeah, it is awful. Columbus Junction just gave up trying to save the water supply. And more Louisa County towns were required to evacuate. We are lucky and live up high out in the county. We have our own well water and so far we can make it into Washington just fine if we need anything. We normally go to Iowa City every Sat. but we are staying out of the way of everyone and not doing any shopping there right now. We went to Wappalo garage sales today and the river is about out and bridges across the river were closed for safety reasons. It was kinda weird people racing to save town and then having garage sales. We were only there as we needed some supplies from their farm store and we stayed out of the way of all the people hauling sand and sand bags and moving their stuff to higher ground. If I did not have a bad arm I would be helping all I could. I also wish we had a reliable truck so people could borrow it to move. It's suppossed to crest in Columbus Junction on Monday breaking the 1993 record. The Angus farm down the road from me has all the cattle up on high ground. The lower pasture is several feet deep in water from the creek that runs into the river being backed up.

As far as I know everyone there is safe though so that's good news.
