I was in Iowa City back in May for her daughter's wedding, and I got a sense of that community that you mentioned. Sounds like you guys have done a great job of preparing for the worst-case scenario. Wishing you all luck...stay safe.Leah St. Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11004006100786260893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-27899579297664658042016-09-26T17:27:25.241-04:002016-09-26T17:27:25.241-04:00I live on the east end of Long Island, New York. ...I live on the east end of Long Island, New York. I'm already thinking of moving because, really, it's only a matter of time. Hurricanes in the past have been pretty devastating but we didn't really get hit by Sandy which destroyed whole areas of the 5 boroughs of New York. But here I am, between Long Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. So my prayers are for you today, but I'd appreciate yours 'tomorrow.'Andrea Downinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11553961600937196102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-48672264615153067982016-09-26T10:48:15.480-04:002016-09-26T10:48:15.480-04:00Flooding can happen almost anywhere.
