| 3. Until now we really haven't had these floods |

This is the worst La Nina I have ever lived through! Yes this made me in awe of nature. Most of downtown Memphis is far above the flood, thankfully, and the buildings that I showed flooded were not homes, but park buildings. The entire riverfront park is flooded, and part of Riverside Drive. The upscale Mud Island neighborhood is mostly going to be all right, as houses are two feet above the crest. Too close for comfort! The Montessori School on the island is flooded, as are some apartments. Unfortunately Nonconnah Creek is not able to properly empty into the river and there are homes affected because of that. We are high and dry. In fact, we may be the only zip code not on the danger list. We aren't that close to a river here.
