Flooding

My city has just experienced flooding and I have had to be evacuated then drove to my sister's friend's house. It's not that bad but my neighborhood is flooded and some houses are under water. I had to go to a different section by boat. We rode school buses to a community center. Otherwise it's just another stressful day.

And that's why Dutch water management systems are infinitely superior.

Ouch... I remember when my town had a minor flood a few years back...everything OK?

Fine but this isn't supposed to happen more than 500 miles INLAND on a plateau. The only reason it flooded is that there was a river near by as well as a creek...I never realized how low my neighborhood is as compared to the rest of the community.

Well damn that sucks nuts.

I'm sorry to hear that. How is your house?

And MNIM, if there wasn't better water management of Nederland, then the country would be constantly underwater.

Well yes, 2/3 of the country is below sea level. but even higherup it can flood very nicely. Most recent floods in the Netherlands have been caused by the Germans say "Oh what the fuck" and suddenly let twice the normal amount go through the Rijn. Besides that, we usually don't have any towns flooded even if the dikes go, because then there's a second dike which is meant to hold it, and no town for another couple of meters up.

You live in Tennessee?

Just hang in there and don't drown, Ok?
