Hmmmm, I wonder if I might be able to make it now. I am out of the Midwest the weekend you guys were holding it!
This is MAJOR flooding, the worst it's been since the really awful floods back in 1993. It will take a good amount of time for everything to get back to normal... and depending on what the weather does in the next few weeks it might not be okay by then. It's not just the flood waters, either, but drinking water and water pressure are affected by all the flooding.
Everybody stay safe!
