You still above water ? Looks like a lot of flooding above you. Hope it doesn't come thru your river.

Thanks for asking, I’m still block sanding and making dust on a Buick.

Our property is on the Auglaize River, the Alglaize carries runoff from hundreds of square miles of farm land, and flows north to Lake Erie. The topography in northwestern Ohio is similar to a pool table,  with heavy rainfall or snow melt the Auglaize and other rivers in this area will rise quickly. The National Weather Service has a river elevation gauge 300 yards down stream from our home, in the last 12 hours the river has risen 12 ft.

Our home is about 40 feet above the rivers normal level so we’ll be dry, we do have just over an acre along the river bank that is now under 10 feet of water.

So, Ill Just keep block sanding the Buick.
