Mud, Sandbags and a LOT of water

[Willow Bean]

Here's a quick look into my current world :gaah: We are flooding, and we are flooding the worst we have ever flooded in over 100 years. it's been tough and I'm pretty lucky, I live in a second floor apartment :joy: so I have been able to volunteer my time elsewhere sandbagging until I just can't lift another shovel of sand into another bag. morning until nightfall. But it's been worth it! :joy: Here are some links to what's going on:

P.S. As of today at 1pm the river had come up 5 feet since Yesterday morning, OUCH :gaah:

I can relate to this. We went through the same thing in 1993. Take care of yourself.

I was watching that on the news. The red river always seems to be a big issue around this time of year. I hope things will get better!

Just wondering how you're doin Jen? I saw that the red river is getting worse both on the Canada side and US side.

I'm praying for everybody affected by the flood - it just seems so unrelenting!

Wow, and you have almost a full day before the water crests. Good luck! It's hard to imagine the magnitude of it.
