That reminds me a bit of like when I was a child. I live in the deep south of the United States now, but I used to live in the Midwest. I was born in Davenport, Iowa, and I was there in 1993 during the great flood, I can remember it, I was five. If I can find some pictures of it, I will be glad to share them here. Davenport has a lot of hills, there’s this weird perception people have that Iowa is flat (actually, the flattest state is Florida), but it was so bad, that our house, which was on a hill, we could see the flood out of our backyard, and we did not live near the river.
