PS I emailed my friend from Duluth. He states the floods have done some very serious damage estimated at over $100,000,000. Most people without flood insurance state and federal officials there assessing the situation. My friend had a taste of water in his basement but otherwise is safe.

Glad your friend is safe.
Here is a point, though. Conservative folks want to keep government OUT of their lives. However, let something bad happen like a flood, and those same people are the first ones in line for government assistance. Everyone has the opportunity to buy flood insurance, I believe, but most do not since there has not been a flood in ages. Well, they made their choice and now, should not ask the intrusive government to step in and help them.
