The river is cresting here but so far except for the areas that always flood its no problem yet. There are two bars down by the marina that you can't get to but that is to be expected. The 93 flood took out the lower areas and that area was made into a park. No new construction is alowed unless you build at a minimum of 2' above the 93 level. The current crest is 5' below that.

Area that flooded in 93 and is now a park.



My house that is high and dry as I built 9' above the 93 level. I hauled in hundred of loads of rock and dirt.

Our main problem could be that if the water got high enough and the levees break that the roads could be closed.
