This is a video (below), done by Barnes Realty (thanks, Jamie and/or Rick), of the levee break between Big Lake and Craig. Last word I heard today is that the secondary levee built in the last few weeks by our local guys is still holding. A second hole was made in the actual river levee so that the water coming in the original break would have a place to flow out of. They did this to relieve the pressure on the new levee.
I believe you can see the second "cut" at 2 minutes in the video, and the original break at 3:30.
I know Dustin is over in that area today pushing up dirt with the bulldozer to help fortify that secondary levee. He didn't want us to bring him lunch because it is not exactly the safest location to be right now. Hmmmm..... Keep praying for safety.
We've seen a drop in river level today, but that is because of the breaks I'm assuming. Looks like they anticipate it starting to come back up later today and continue to climb.
One thing to remember, river levels will flow this high or higher until late August. I can't even begin to imagine.
