[AT] Re: Floyd River

[Dallas and Kathy]

Hi ya'all, We have been here for a rather long time, but have been to shy 
and too busy to post. My mother grew up along the Floyd just south of 
LeMars. She used to tell of all of the times that "a wall of water" was 
rolling down the river. They would scoot out and retrieve the cattle to 
prevent their drowning. The buildings were about a quarter of a mile from 
the river. She had many pictures of the water right up to the buildings. My 
husbands Mother lives on the Big Sioux right across from Akron, Iowa. She 
Has been underwater sooo many times. She has told of the 8' wall of water 
that came down in 1923. Their horses drowned. And of course, there are flash 
flood watches and warnings for this night and tomorrow.    Signed by the 
wife of an antique tractor addict.   Kathy
