<![CDATA[Dike Updates]]>Water is completely off the flood wall. Preparing for a second crest just as high as the last one so we will see. We have been adding some sandbags on top of the ground behind the dike to hold back the pressure from the ground from coming up.

Bagged everything except for the Sump Holes

Also, We put plastic covering the ground out about 10 ft from the wall. Were hoping this will cut back on some of the pressure from coming through the ground, up under the planters and behind the wall.

You can't really think it is better to predict lower then higher?
What Brian said.

With that said, they were really off on their predictions 1 day off when they said 41-42 with potential to go 43.

What would make one think they'd be spot on 2 weeks out?

I wouldn't need to tell the city shit because I was right all along, and I dont get paid to make those decisions.

Still doesnt take away the fact that everytime Joel posted something, he got picked on.

And when he was right, I knew we'd get the "oh well better to be safe than sorry nurrr" when all he was saying was it was NOT going to be higher than the 1st crest.

I guess we all need to be thankful that it wasnt a major catastophere. The flood sucked for everybody. Maybe we wont have water restrictions this summer lol...
