My mom and dad are feeling better about the flooding situation. They live in Marion's Garden where a canal was dug in from the river channel. In order to fill in the entrance of the river channel that enters the canal, the home owner's association had to pay for their own levee. So, even though they had to pay for it, it was worth it. There are 3 pumps also pumping out the water in the canal back into the main river channel, so the water has actually gone down. They hope to be back into their house in the middle of July. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayer for the people affected.
