Only after you'd rescued all the Special Grind -
a soggy slavegirl can be hung up to dry,
but soggy civet-beans are no use to anyone!
This is the coffee shop...
...the water is higher now...

Of course we saved the coffee first before we hung you out to dry...Only after you'd rescued all the Special Grind -

Oh big shit!!!
That is my biggest fear. My house is close to a river.
That's really sad, Tree - although naturally I only know of that place from you,
I've come to feel quite an affection for it, and of course it's part of the history of Pacific.
I do hope it's soon dry again, at least as far as floodwater's concerned,
and hasn't suffered any real damage.
My impression is the floods are very extensive, but the water fairly slow-moving?
The worst damage in Scotland and northern England has been in places where
the floods have been fast-flowing torrents, sweeping along big trees, even buses,
smashing down bridges and buildings. At least good warnings mean there have been
hardly any deaths, I've only heard of two since this round of flooding started early this month.

I hope both Tree & Eulalia manage to keep high & dry.
I would ask that you send some of that rain my way, but, I think California needs it more.
I hope you both laid up lots of supplies. Tree, I heard on the news they had to shut down the sewage treatment plant, dumping raw sewage into the Merrimack. Don't drink the water. Take your Seagram's straight.
This is a picture of Pacific, Missouri, taken today. I think the Coffee Shop is down there somewhere.

I like not this water.
Yeah, we're used to wind and rain, even floods.
But what we'd do in a drought, a dinna ken,
we'd be in shock!
Dunno what you mean Mongo, or what you've heard.
A sluice and pumping station on the R Foss was breaking down because floodwater was getting into the works.
There was a choice between opening the sluice and flooding a few hundred properties, or leaving it closed and flooding several thousand.
I've heard of no complaints about the way the emergency services, health service, social services, armed forces, etc. responded, in York or anywhere in Britain, they were well-prepared and that there've been scarcely any casualties is greatly to their credit. And the response of ordinary people has been magnificent. Lots of questions to be asked about what has been done and what ought to be done about flood protection, environmental management, even climate change, but when it comes to a crisis, people forget the politicians, ignore the 'shock horror' journalists, just get on doing what needs to be done.
Again, a very sad scene.
It occurs to me we ought to be chatting about this in the Coffee Shop - I'll post a link

This is a heartwarming story to start the new year with:

Al-Imdaad is a Muslim international relief charity based in Lancashire, they've done a lot of work for people hit by the floods there, but it's good that they've come to help in my region too
