you just can not prep for something like this all you can do is pick up and run
this Levee failure is not helping matters one bit
I know this area well and it is south of all the other flooding.that river is very high to get to all the way up to those buildings normally that river is about 25 ft below the bridge,

Me too. I knew Arkansas had a lot of rain lately... you ok GG?
That's a lot of water, it's coming my way. I pray that everyone is safe.
yeah I am good here I have a few creeks across roads and the 2 rivers in my area are not a threat ,I am just very glad that I am where I am instead of near all that flooding
so far there have been 7 reported deaths because of the flooding,I expect it to rise some

A flood is a tough thing to prepare for, for sure. There are things you can do though. Building your house on stilts for instance. Even just having a bug out bag for your essentials for a quick evacuation is smart. I'm not just talking about mountain survival gear either, but changes of clothing, toothbrush, soap, extra eyeglasses, etc. if you have just moments to leave, having a kit to grab that was well thought out in advance will make your life a lot more bearable during the emergency.

That why we should have go-bags even if we plan and prep for bugging in especially in flood zones, about the best that can be done is have a bug out location that's not in threat of floods. I know, I'm Monday morning quarter backing here
I've been watching this on tv and it's a sad situation to say the least, heart breaking really. The folks down their are certainly in my prayers!
