I'm from panhandle Florida and alabama, so I'm right there with you haha.

What's that postal service motto, nor rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail? USPS doesn't issue canoes to workers? Amazon will not be pleased

I’m in Iowa. It’s not too bad where I am, but the next town over closer to the river is completely flooded. It pretty much floods every single Spring without fail, but this year is especially bad. Water restoration companies absolutely rake it in this time of year because flooding here is a very common occurrence in a lot of homes and businesses.

My basement flooded (not bad though) in February when the massive pileup of snow was melting. This area of the country is really bad for flooding. We have 3 seasons — winter wasteland, flood/tornado season, and ridiculously hot humid summer. Autumn and Spring don’t exist in any practical sense, and that isn’t hyperbole. Screw this area of the Midwest. I want out so bad.

I wondered if you were getting it, e_poison. Saw Davenport on the news day before yesterday. Yikes!

Missouri , here around st Louis County ,is MISERY, everything in Iowa comes on down,,Illinois too, ,worst place is where the Missouri, Mississippi and Illinois rivers merge, in St Charles they built levees,,which causes more floods for towns south of there,, I'd love to live out west,northwest,,,,not in southern California, but northern, maybe someday, ,
