Along the Muddy Banks of the Great Ohio River.<br /><br />Herself and I just got home a while ago from 36 hours of watching high water take out bridges, flood peoples homes, close main roads to towns and villages, waiting helplessly for the water to go down to try and restore some order into folks lives. We were with out power for near 24hrs. due to a slip which wiped out a main feed to the area. Some areas are still without power. Even had my StarCraft on standby for a possible rescue of stranded folks in the next town that had to evacuate...we planned to launch on a main road not less!!<br /><br />Then the clean up. Mud every where. Basements flooded. My own house sustained damage. Wind blew some shingles off the roof and the water poured into the bathroom ceiling. <br /><br />We are tired, wrung out and watching the Great Ohio which is still rising. But we are thankful for no loss of life or injuries.<br /><br />Even while dying......Francis was a total BEOTCH!!<br /><br />To all you folks in Florida.....my heart goes out to you....and yet you face Ivan.
