Glad to read the update, and that things are sort of moving back to normal. Flood damage is no joke, and glad your family dodged that bullet.

I was not aware I-29 was damaged so heavily, usually the interstates are built up quite a bit over the local ground. We have an area west of Fargo called the lakes region where I discovered just last week that I-94 had to be diked to prevent the lakes from flooding over the road, and they are rebuilding them one direction at a time in 2 places. A state road that was just rebuilt 3 years ago due to flooding - and raised significantly - is back under water worse than before. None of this is from river flooding like Fargo, Bismarck, Minot or M58's family, this is local lake flooding due to excessive water.

The following are all of 680 and 29 in the Council Bluffs/Omaha area.  The scenes are similar going both north and south for many miles from this point.

Steaks on the grill with friends...

Such a standard icon of mundane suburbia...

And yet such a significant signpost on the road back to a normal life and a sharing of bounty with friends.....
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster
