Since we are in another major flood I was wondering if Noah would let me bring my machines on the Ark. The river was at 29.10' at 10:00 o'clock tonight & they say it should crest between 38' or 39' by this weekend. Everyone is hoping that they are right since last year it finally crested at 40.82' & the conditions were just about the same except we haven't had another storm yet (knock on wood). We did make national news again tonight & we are in full flood fighting mode once again. Our house should be okay if the river doesn't go any higher & the dikes hold but it's North Dakota & you never know when things will change on the spur of the moment. At least people will know where Fargo, N.D is after all the flood coverage last year & this year! I'll let you know what Noah's answer is.

I don't know how you flood folks can stand it! The stress would drive me bonkers.

I hope all the levys hold.

I love your answer Maria. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Hope all goes well.

I agree with the 2 of each and tell Noah your fabric will provide insulation for the ark and lining for the brids' nests. Plus, you'll teach his wife and DILs to quilt while on board. Seriously, hope the flooding doesn't reach new levels there and your house is okay. My prayers are with all there in Fargo, ND.

My Mother lives in a floor area. Five houses down lives my sister not in a floor area. Everytime it rains much at all, Mother's house floods. She hasn't had carpet in years. Usually keeps everything up off the floor on crates or blocks.
I used to live on the Ohio River, two blocks from the floor walls. I feel your pain. I hope you are able to stay dry.

Hope you stay dry! I think you should be able to bring both machines and all of your fabric.
