How's your flood insurance?

A) It was an isolated, non-gang, kept in the house shooting. He was found dead later............(I failed to mention my neighbors were big in the Asian mafia). Still some of the nicest people I have met.

B) I would put in a slide and call it a water park, but because the City did not purchase my land ahead of time, I would be taxed to death because I would do a better job at it then they would.

C) Ever melted a penny? I have, it mixes all together and you get a silver colored stuff. I have done this to make inlays of metal in wood, looks really cool. Shines up real pretty too.

I think the real estate dude was trying to make a sale and get his commission! If you live in a flood plain, you are required to get flood insurance. You won't close the sale until you have it. Government backed loan or not.

Not that it melts it, but how is it legal to do those penny presses that flattens and embosses an image in what is left of your penny?

Although there have been predictions of significant flooding of the Arkansas River when this winter's snowfalls melt in the spring, Dodge City residents can breathe a sigh of relief. National Weather Service Hydrologist Rick Sloan said that significant flooding is highly unlikely.

"I want to assure Dodge City area residents there is virtually zero chance spring melting of the snowpack will cause significant flooding," said Sloan.

NOAA's National Operational Hydrologic and Remote Sensing Center in Minneapolis, Minn. took aerial measurements of the moisture from the snow and ice storms in December and January. Sloan said the measurements show that "areas of southeast Colorado along the Arkansas River between John Martin Reservoir and the Kansas state line may contain upwards of 300,000 to 400,000 acre-feet of water in the ice/snowpack."

Although that amount of moisture may seem like it could cause substantial flooding, the droughts in recent years would absorb much of the moisture.

"An Arkansas River flood of 1965 proportions would be possible only if all that accumulated moisture was released in a 24-hour period," said Sloan.

He said John Martin Reservoir is capable of storing the runoff in the spring. Basins below the John Martin Reservoir may see several weeks of runoff which would increase the water flows near the Kansas-Colorado border.

"Additional rains through the spring would cause runoff, but not to the extent to cause catastrophic flooding," said Sloan. "Only a repeat of the torrential rains of spring 1965 would be likely to cause similar flow and flood levels."

The Dodge City branch of the National Weather Service will issue Spring Flood Outlooks for southwest Kansas on Feb. 23 and March 9. Public and area emergency management services will be updated periodically of Arkansas River conditions throughout the year.

There you have it. From a weather expert/hydrologist (hydrology is the study of water runoff among other things). I would take his word before I would the word of an estate planning attorney/wannabe weatherman.

Just another example of someone trying to "blow smoke up your a$$" as usual!! I told you it would take a helluva lot of water at one time to cause any flooding. By the time the reservoirs out West are filled, and all the melon farmers drain the river, it probably won't even get here as usual! Welcome to the Great American Desert!!

Just makes it easier to find all that gold that's hidden!!
