The flooding has reached record levels.  They are evacuating Toddtown (a small town north of Columbus Junction), Fredonia, and Oakville.  They have never had to evacuate before.  All the major highways north and east of Wapello are under water.

Please pray for us.  The 99 bridge east of Wapello might collapse which could dam up the river and send it into Wapello (we're on the high side of the river).  I have stuff packed up and ready to move if needed (I hope not).  Please pray we don't get any more rain (we had five inches on Thursday night which aggravated the situation).  I helped sandbag like crazy Thursday afternoon along with hundreds of other people.

For those that don't know-Louisa County is in southeast Iowa.  The Cedar River flows into the Iowa River just north of Columbus Junction.  We getting the flood waters of the Cedar and Iowa Rivers at the same time which is not good (you have probably seen the TV reports of Cedar Rapids, Cedar Falls, Iowa City, and Coralville).  We are south of them.

I believe Tae Kwon Do class might be cancelled until the situation improves.  Some students will not be able to get there since they're cut off by the Iowa River.   Bummer!
