[Magdalen] Houston flooding

[Sibyl Smirl]

Might depend on how long his memory was-- my little river flooded in 93, 
the year of the Mississippi floods that made international news.  For 
several days I was completely cut off from Joplin (maybe if I'd driven 
FAR north, I might have gotten around it, but was not that eager).  At 
that time, I drove down the country road to the edge of the water that 
totally covered my farmland (bottom ground), and an old man who lived 
near said that it had not been that far out since 1947.  We're flooded 
here now, but not like that.  Anyway, I was alive in 47, but not old 
enough to have been noticing river heights.  We did lose one bridge that 
year (not the one by my land, an older one), though all of them were 
underwater.
