Matt,
We have friends over in Oakville and we spent a few days sandbagging over at the big ditch and some other places along the mississippi. Spent many hours in the water flopping sandbags along the levee as the water was rising fast!
Then spent thursday sandbagging down in Taylor, Missouri. Good friends down there too.
In both places, many friends are pretty much losing their whole farms and pretty much everything else they own. Its easy to sit back and watch on TV, but when you actually get out witness this kind of thing firsthand, you really can feel these people hurting pretty bad.
I am hurting pretty bad right now too, after throwing 1000's of sandbags for a couple days, I can barely type on the computer or sit in a chair I am so sore!!!
