If only we could even out the drought with the flooding …
I'm not even living near the Mississippi or Missouri River drainage regions, and I guarantee you many of us here in southwest Missouri are ready to get out the plywood, 2x4s, etc., and start building life rafts if not honest to goodness Arks!
We've had rain and thunderstorms every day for more than a week, and I think most of them zero in on my old house and backyard. The sump pump in the basement continues to do it's job, so for now we're good to float -- uh, good to go.
Many of my neighbors here in the Missouri Ozarks haven't been so lucky. Some of them are far more worried about just keeping a patio than worrying over things like patio furniture! To be honest, we've not suffered having entire neighborhoods and towns under water like the good folks in Iowa and northern Missouri -- but it hasn't been any fun.
If only we could collect several million gallons of our flood and move it to the sun dried, parched drought areas in the southwestern states. Hmmm ...
