Yipee… flooding… to stay or not to stay

Kawanee Hamilton

Hey Worders!!

I’m still alive, taking a break from being online after getting all the online stores working(ish). And now we are flooding. Isn’t that cool? No… it’s not.

So this is what our river is supposed to look like:
dardenelle lock and dam

 

And this is what it looked like last week…
arkansas river 1

The walls are underwater… well you can see the top of them. We are having record flooding. The river is at 44 ft, flood stage is 32 ft (I think) but I know we just broke the record set in 1943… *yay us?*

This is Monday… and all traces of the walls are gone. It’s come up more since then… river today

The steps down to the water on Monday

and the same spot today.

Forecasted to come up another few feet before it’s all over, supposedly Sunday. I am not in any danger, it’s about 3 miles from me. I think even if the levees go, and even if the dam goes, I should be okay. I think….

Meanwhile, I’ve gathered things that are important… in this order:

I will get:
Hubby and hubby’s art…
Pictures,
PC (with my books on it)
suitcase with some clothes in it. (maybe)

The Boy: 
He will be in charge of getting:
His PC
The cat
and Grandma if she doesn’t step lively.
Clothes (maybe)

Grandma will get:
Her @ss in the car.

**** Clothes are optional…. can be left behind if necessary.

Prepared for the worst;

Kawanee was born in Alexandria Louisiana but her first real memories are of Russellville Arkansas. She's always loved to read, and has always had an vivid imagination. She grew up in a house where almost everyone read, they didn't need a TV although she could still be found planted on her butt in front of her grandma's TV watching cartoons on Saturday mornings. She made up her first story with her mother when her cat died; it was about where pets go when they die. She continued to create stories from bad dreams she had and her dad would help her change nightmares to stories. They would sit up in a chair until the scary went away. He told her that: "Dreams, good or bad, are just stories your mind makes up. You are the author of your dreams; if you don't like them rewrite them. " She was hooked and has continued to read and write stories drawing from dreams, sights and just pure imagination. She just recently decided she'd like to try and get published and fail than wonder what if. Her story continues but where it goes from here is up to you, the Reader... She hopes you'll join her in finding out where her journey goes from here!
