And the rains came
Our house is on high ground, secure, but some folks down the street have their houses standing in water. We went out a while ago to see how extensive the flooding is, and the answer is: pretty dang. Spring flooding is a spectator sport for us up here; it has none of the true menace that it does in, say, southwestern West Virginia. But these are the highest floodwaters we've seen up here, and this is our twentieth spring in central New York. A bit of context for the link above: Williamson, West Virginia, is where the Starter Husband and I parted company, in 1976, one year before the flood archived by the Charleston Gazette.
