The bottom of the door to this bar is roughly 40 inches from the ground. There's a big cement stoop leading up to it.

We know what you folks are going through we had our share a couple months back
I sure hope everyone comes out of this ok
Just remember material things can be replaced
wow !!! :shock2: National Guard called in yet Jim ? They did well here a few years ago, supplying potable water amongst other things.
Being from the Ohio river valley I know what this is like......... :sad: Much work to be done........Help who ya can and be prepared for more. God be with you all.
Brings back memories of Ohio a few months back. It looks like they got the sand bags out a little too late or didn't have enough of them.
Jerry
They had about 15 member rescue team down there till the water was off the streets.
As far as the sandbags there wasnt enough time to put them up the water went from the edge of the road to inside the bars in about 4 hours .
The first picture is that were one of you live? Sure hope you guys get some relief on the weather, I mean all the snow you had this past winter and now floods of historical proportions. such beautiful country there, we will keep you in our prayers. cc
No neither of us live there Carl. Actually Rick used to live across the street from the bar there though. :eyebrow: :laf:
That looks nasty and it is a pain in the ass, hope their insurance companies don't try to screw them, saying they didn't have flood insurance or some other B.S. like that.
I was 3" from being on an island myself and it is a pain just to get to work, in 2005 when our 1st flood hit it wasn't to bad as gas was fairly cheap then, but when we had to drive 25-30 miles out of the way in the 2008 flood, well it got expensive then.
I see where Missouri is still getting flooded, or is it Mississippi, or both ?
Bob
I feel for ya'll. Wish you could give us the run-off, we have been in a severe drought down here for 5 years. My favorite duck holes have been gone for three of those years
Looks like you guys are getting a few days between rains now. Is this helping any at all up there?? :shrug:
I could do a couple belly flops in front of the bar and have it dried up in a short amount of time. :yoyo: :biggrin:
HaMer
Yes to your question, In fact everything is back in its banks, almost back to normal except for all the damage the flood caused and raw sewage thats still being pumped in the rivers because the sewer plants were damaged.
Rick
Well I'm glad to hear that Rick. At least it's progress & there is more light at the end of the tunnel for you folks up there. just be careful with all that crap in the water when you're out fishing now. Dissentary (sp) is a sumbitch to get rid of.
Yeah....everything at Ricks stinks, sticks, and stanks :nono:
