Just a quick note to let everyone know we're all fine. My office was flooded out, but as long as the sandbag walls we spent three days building continue to hold until the water goes down, we should be back in within a month. Right now, everything is out of the office and they've ripped out the carpet and trim boards, which (cross your fingers) seem to be the only things really damaged. For now, everyone is working out of their home. The photo above is what the building looked like on Saturday, the day before the crest. Our office is about half way down the building.
Our home, as mentioned in the previous post, is high enough up that we are well away from any flood water. The only impact is the inconvenience of still having only one way to get into and out of town. The good news is that they have finally reopened Interstate 80 (above is what it looked like at its worst), so my family is coming home! The drive out was torturous, but it seems as if Mary and the boys have enjoyed their visit with Gram and Pop Pop. I'll let her share more about it, but I do know it included a trip to the zoo that was quite exciting for Edward.
