Overheard outside the meeting

I wasn't able to get into the community meeting down in Zoar tonight, but Denise and I were there as it let out. We learned that the ACOE has no doubt that the levee will hold. But, they are going to shore up the one area where the water is seeping through as quickly as possible. (Side note: Speaking of that, we were told that no one is allowed up on the levee road while they are working now. A truck almost hit a kid so the ACOE told the police to not let anyone else up there.) Okay, back to the goings on. We had also heard that they feel IF there is a problem with the levee, that they will have about 24 hours notice before something happens. I guess they are in the crystal ball business now too. The question had been asked why the Bolivar Dam was allowed to drain so much and the people running the meeting kept saying that they wanted to keep to the topic of the levee and not the dam. WEWS did have a camera crew there this evening, so look at the 11 o'clock news for more details.
So after we heard the news from Zoar, we went back down to the I-77 interchange area and you really can see that the water is starting to fall back off of the road. Let's keep our fingers crossed. Hopefully this won't go on as long as we once thought.
