Check out this this is close to home for me.The company I work is moving all its inventory to other locations.one of our stores is the largest in the US and its one that is subject to flooding.
My thoughts and prayers are with you that live in the mid-west. You deal with this sort of problem almost every year, and you all pull together and help each other out. It's inspiring to see everyone helpng each other for the greater good. Unlike Katrina when everyone stayed when they were told to evacuate. They threw hurricane parties for cripe sakes. Then they got knocked on their butts and cried to the federal government for help, and it was FEMA's fault when the resulting disaster was too big for FEMA to handle. I admire the guts, perseverance, and integrity of the people of the mid-west.
Good luck and I hope the flooding doesen't not impact you. Be safe and don't take any chances.

Ohh, and make sure the Mach 1 is high and dry!
Thanks gxr.And Rp.Where I live it wont impact if it does Omaha will be under water we live in the country and on a hill about 25 miles from river.They are going to fill sand bags in council bluffs Iowa This week end and Im going to volunteer.We do have Family members on the wifes side that have to evacuate.
All the best to you all in Iowa and Nebraska and any others involved in this. I have family living in central Iowa. As already mentioned above, your willingness to help each other in times like this is a testament to the rest of this great country that it is still inhabited by great people. You all live in a very beautiful part of our great land.
The walk bridge leads from Omaha to where I lived 5 years ago.Kind of glad we moved,sorry for the people that still live there. God bless them

Sorry to hear about all this destruction from the floods and tornadoes. My suggestion move to Arizona, it never rains here and the worst thing you have to deal with is 120 degrees Attn
Keep the Mach 1 dry no doubt! Get it to safety if there's even a small chance of damage! If you don't you'll wish you had.
Thanks Mach1club we dont have to worry about the mach.Its in the shop next to my house and no chance of flooding here the last time the area around my house flooded Noah was alive.As for arizona I dont do poisonous Snakes.And I dont think they have Deer hunting there.
Well there are rattle snakes although Ive never seen one really, but Ill admit I don't go looking for em. FYI we have some great Elk and Deer hunting in Arizona.
Everyone thinks Arizona is just desert, in reality we have all the seasons here in one state, in Phoenix it never snows but you drive 2 hours or 150 miles north in December/January we can get up to 30+ inches of snow, we have 3 or 4 big ski lodges here.
I love everything about AZ except the fact that it has potential to get to 120+ in July, August, September. Its easy taking care of the cars when we have 2-3 months with not one drop of rain.

Glad to hear the Mach 1's safe!
I'll vouch for the good Mule Deer and Elk hunting here in Arizona. I like the Mormon Lake area, and believe it or not a canyon called Rattlesnake Gulch. I lived in Arizona for 11 years and had encounters with 2 rattlers. Five years here in Mexico and only one side winder. In Africa it was an average of a snake a day and they are all serious. (I hate snakes).

My dad, from Shell Rock, Iowa, has always said that you can take the boy off the farm but you'll never take the farm out of the boy. Somehow I inherited that and I love everything about farming. Someday I would love to live back on the farm. After all these years I think I might even be able to handle the snow.
