Some of you may remember that I had company coming from NH and MA. They are here now until Wednesday.

Their significant others and my sister-in-law have all been evacuated. Two of them were evacuated by rescue boats as the river crested and the water is knee high and rising rapidly.

There is a threat that the berm will wash away and if that happens their condos/homes will get slammed with at least 4 feet of water.

My guests are very stressed and are having trouble getting in touch with their families. Phone service is sporadic, both land lines and cells. They are afraid of losing their homes and cars etc. as they were evacuated so quickly they couldn't even get clothes.

I am trying to keep them as calm as I can but all this makes me wicked nervous too.
