Day 12 Update

Just a quick note - They are recommending that the South part of Orting (towards South Prairie and the Carbon River) evacuate due to Carbon River flooding. They are also recommending that McMillan, about 1 mile from where I live (same rivers) is also recommending evacuation. I'm in the middle and still dry. We are not in any danger only if the road gets flooded - which if it does not stop raining it is possible. Army Corp of Engineers are running dump trucks and surveyors up to river dike to add about two feet of promised rocks and stuff to the dike (a 2006 agreement from the last flood that the current admin (fed) put on hold as to expensive - wonder what it is costing now!) If the dikes hold and the rain stops, we will be fine. If the road goes, we will be fine and if the dike goes, we should be fine. It would take a lot of water to get us but at this point, I would not be surprised if it happened.

As a stupid note: I did get my workout in for the KelownaGirl challenge - 6 hours sandbag stacking. Shoulders and back are very sore, but still functioning.

Will update tomorrow!
