I know it's been a while, but I've been stuck to the TV watching local news this week.  While at work on Monday, the Levee broke on the man made lake that serves as a major tourist spot taking out 300-400 ft of the road that I travel daily.  The lake emptied.  Due to the vast quantities of rain that our area has had, there is flooding all around and getting to and from work is a major issue for many.  Some have lost their homes.  We just had a wet basement.  and then there is Iowa, makes the flooding in WI look minor.  My prayers go out for all those effected by the floods, and their families. 

I live on high ground, however flooding and evacuations happened within a mile of my home, in either direction.

in other news, I've lost another 1 1/2 lbs this week for a total of 16.  I'm more that 25% of the way to my goal.  And only 4 more lbs until I go shopping

You've been in my thoughts and prayers Chelly girl.  I tried to call the other day but all the lines were busy and I couldn't get through - I tried several times over the course of an hour and then gave up. 

Keep me posted.  *hugs*

The footage is staggering and I'm sure you can't believe your eyes when you see that empty lakebed. Glad you're ok.
