Levee broke..
Well our levee finally broke. It is not a surprise they have been working on it like crazy trying to keep it patched but we all knew it was probably not going to hold. The water has not reached us yet. We are over 3 miles from the river so it will take a little bit of time to get here. They have lowered the prediction of how high the water will get. We should be ok with the new levels. It will close the roads around us and we might get some in the basement. Hubby is staying here to make sure the pumps are working. Not sure what the kids and I will do. I’m torn between staying here and making it an adventure and bugging out to my sisters. If we stay here we will have to stay here till its over. The roads will flood and we won’t be able to get out. We should not lose electricity or anything and we have plenty of food and water. The kids have been wanting to go to Aunt Gees house since this whole thing started almost 2 weeks ago. They may mutiny if I say we are staying here. 
On the up side I feel justified now that we built our fort. We were starting to feel a little foolish for going to such extremes.
Some of you have been worried about us and seeing stuff on the news. Just wanted to let every one know that we are fine and not in any kind of danger.

I have been praying for you…and looking for a post everyday.
So glad to hear from you!
Go…and enjoy your time with family…besides…looks like you may have to: )
It is ALWAYS better to be over prepared than not at all!
I think you should go before you are trapped and what it it is worse then they thought??? or a bunch of rain comes? Better to be safe then sorry. Pray you are kept safe.

Oh Jaci, so sorry you’re going through this. You are holding up so well and so positive about it. Keep your head up! You and your family are certainly in my prayers.
You can start to see water across the road now. It’s on its way for sure. It’s driving me crazy that I can’t get on the forum.
Katie is afraid to stay so I’m going to take her to my sisters. I guess we will have a girls week-end.
Alex wants to stay here with Daddy. He has his video games and such to keep him happy. I went to the store to get them supplies. Alex list was, mike & Ikes, soda and frosted mini wheats (even though we already have a full bag. He’s afraid he will run out because he eats them for every meal given the chance.)
