yep it's a mess
all the experts here in Council Bluffs keep saying our levee system should hold, but when you hear that another levee south of you has broken you start getting concerned.
we got six inches of rain over two days last and we been pumping water out of our basement ever since.
and now the temps are going to be in the 90's for the next few days
