How high's the water, mama?
Yikes. My home town, Harrisburg, Illinois, is flooded. The nearby, mighty Middle Fork Saline River jumped its banks following a two-day soaking.
Check the coverage from the local paper, The Daily Register (for which, not coincidentally, members of my family toiled through three generations).
Fortunately, all my family members living there are OK, just a little waterlogged. I offered to try to book a random Guthrie, or perhaps a Bob Dylan "tribute" act, to go up and sing after-the-flood folk songs, but so far no takers.
