Ten Years

We are coming up on the 10th anniversary of our devastating flood. It was caused by tropical storm moisture from the Gulf of Mexico, and this weekend we are in a similar weather pattern, so everyone is thinking back to what we wish we'd done differently back in 2013.

I don't think it will get that bad, but that's the fun of natural disasters, isn't it - possible but not probable.

Here is our river 11 years ago:


The flood changed the river, and now that island is much longer due to interesting hydrological processes, that in sum mean next time we have a flood that big, the river will probably take out our house.
