Anyone else live near flooding?
I know you do, Ro! 
How's it going up there?
This is a picture of a park right by the main Highway in Chaska where I live. We were just down there taking pictures last night. I don't have my camera with me today so I'll have to post pictures later tonight. I got down pretty close to it, it's a really eery feeling.You can see the street lights that are on the highway if you look close, so you can tell how high the water is on the highway.
They'll probably shut this road down today or tomorrow. They're shutting down 101 in Shakopee right now.
This is the first year, in 3 years, that we've ever even thought about flood insurance. We bought the policy mostly for peace of mind after the City sent us letters about it. We've never gotten the letters before. It's horrific to think about what could happen. I know that there is absolutely nothing anyone can do to stop this, so I need to stop worrying about it, but easier said than done.
ETA: These are some pictures from last year's flooding. They're predicting this year's to be worse.
The picture below is the park that I pictured above. I walked down those stairs and was standing by that railing last night. I could have stood next to that trellis thing by the tree too.
ETA: I just got an email that the current elevation of the water is 713.5'. That's a lot of frickin water!
