We just lost our '07 Outback due a flashflood when the levee broke on our creek. TT's get REALLY heavy when they've been full of flood water and mud. We're near Hannibal, Mo. Tornados are not allowed on our farm. We've had widespread flooding in NE Mo. - some still out of properties. Called FEMA to see what I needed to be documenting. The lady I spoke to could not understand how our zip code could be in one county and our farm be in another. Keep up your flood insurance on your RV's ! You're much more likely to be hit by hail or flooded than some other types of weather-related problems. I enjoyed your article.

Glad everybody is safe and OK, and the damage to your Neighbors house's can be repaired, the pictures look like it was a bad one.

Gaffes like these are distracting, and unprofessional. Great story, but please, next time use Spell Check –
