The Seablogger, having lived in the area and his mother still living there, has quite a bit to say about it–as well as correcting some of Big Media’s usual laziness.

UPDATE: The river seems, mercifully, to have crested.

Gosh, when I think of all that water 😉
Would be nice to transport some of it here. Maybe they’ll figure a way to do that, someday.
