It sounds like the local officials are on top of the situation! I hope that that one gate doesn't breach!

C'mon Johnathan, where are you??? :o

Johnathan is a good bit north of that area so I'm sure he's fine! They got the third gate open so that takes some of the pressure off! Great job by the Emergency Management folks down there!

That is some good news. Thanks for sharing Marshall! Now if we could only shut off the water spicket in Florida or pipe it to Arizona.

Amen Garrett! I would gladly send a whole bunch of this to Arizona! We definitely have more than our fair share!

TV coverage is certainly dramatic....flooding looks fierce by any standard. Saturated ground is not a good thing with the tropical season kicking into higher gear by the day. Won't be much time for repairs if there is major damage.

I'll keep one eye on the floods...the other on our AZ fires.

Fingers crossed and prayers said, of course.
