Really - and that water is DIRTY. I can't imagine having my home, business AND community swept away all at once. So many crops lost too, which will have an impact on us all. All the while, the Mighty Mississippi laughs and says "Sand -You think you can defeat me with SAND?" It's amazing to see how powerful that water can be when a levee breaks - how quickly everything floods. Looking at the landscape you'd think those residents wouldn't have to worry about flooding....or where to find food, shelter and clean drinking water.

Thanks for the pics, Doody. I hope those residents receive the help they require and find a way to resume a "normal" life soon.
