This is a picture from the flood – it is not a river but a road that was near a river. Two or three days later people were out drying out their bedding, etc. They are so used to flooding that while I am sure they do not like to have their homes flooded, they take it as part of living. As I wrote earlier, there was an article about a family who had lived for three generations in a home that flooded two to three times a year. It would be hard to imagine this happening in the US.
