My Farmer Buds are a little less than half way up there, maybe 18 miles as the River flows. And they ALL live below the east side levie. Standing in their driveway looking up at the Levie road above you it's aprox 25' and water is at 22' on the other side. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The news said 180k people need to evacuate. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richieb Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 So 'Miner are you in the evac zone? And if you don't mind saying, what city? The national news reported that issues with this dam have been known and left neglected since 2005. True? I mean that's only 12 years, you can't turn gov't around that quickly even as they are watching their constituents being washed away. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes back much further than I thought, this was in the news today. http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-valentines-day-history-business-20170214-story.html Glad they stopped this tradition. Many historians agree that Valentine’s Day can be traced back to ancient Rome when, in the middle of February, the toga crowd celebrated Lupercalia. This involved men getting naked, sacrificing goats and then using strips from the skins to chase and whip nearby women, thereby improving the women’s fertility. Those Romans. They put the Rome in romance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still have so much to learn from ancient Rome. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can stand on top of the levee at the time of the year when the river is high and it's only a few feet from the top, on the city side is a 30' drop in elevation to street level, it's crazy. Hope it drains off before anything else bad happens, people living there don't deserve being washed away because of bad planning from the past. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never sacrificed a goat before and I wouldn't whip any women with the meat because I wouldn't want to improve there fertility, labido yes, furtility NO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
