Subj : flood stuff was: Vacation To : Nancy Backus From : Barry Martin Date : Sat Aug 31 2019 08:45:00 Hi Nancy! -=> Quoting Barry Martin to Nancy Backus on 25-Aug-2019 09:46 <=- BM> Subject: flood stuff was: Vacation Time! -=> Quoting Barry Martin to Nancy Backus on 13-Aug-2019 10:24 <=- -=> Quoting Barry Martin to Nancy Backus on 29-Jun-2019 08:37 <=- NB>>> Replying at 9:20am on the 6th... BM>> A little after 7:30 a.m. on August 13th... NB>> We're quite stretched out here... now about 4:30 pm on August NB>> 24th... :) BM> Getting close: 8:30 on August 25th! NB> And a little more stretched (but not all that bad) with it now NB> evening of August 30th... :) That was only about twelve hours ago! NB>>> 90 days is usually what is used for three months, but it's only an NB>>> approximation, just like 30 days is for a month... 13 weeks is more NB>>> accurate for a quarter year, and that would be 91 days.... BM>> Yes. LIS in an earlier message, initially the news anchor's use of BM>> "91 days Monday" (something like that) initially didn't make sense. BM>> Maybe because I was only half paying attention and missed the cue. BM>> Once I figured it out some time later it made sense. NB>> Or maybe he just figured that people would figure out where he was NB>> coming from and hadn't given a cue... :) What was the final tally of NB>> days at or above flood stage...? BM> 96. As for the figuring it out, maybe, or there was a comment earlier BM> in the news which I hadn't paid attention to. At least finally made BM> sense to me. NB> Still quite impressive... I'm sure that people are hoping to not NB> have a repeat of this next year, hoever exciting it's been... ;) While taking a row boat down 3rd St is unique I don't think Davenport plans to become the Venice of the U.S.! NB>>> AIS, things are gradually getting back to normal... Good that FEMA NB>>> will still accept the applications, some things wouldn't really come NB>>> to light until one is able to start the cleanup.... BM>> Probably true. Thinking of the possibility of buckled walls and mold BM>> behind walls. NB>> Yup... among other things... :) BM> And LIS in an earlier set of messages, a couple/few businesses have BM> decided to close permanently because can't afford to rebuild. Overall BM> appears Downtown will recover, some quicker than others. NB> I guess for some, the flooding was the last straw... and NB> insurance and FEMA don't cover everything, just a good portion... NB> But it's good that overall the Downtown will recover... :) Overall, yes. LIS there were some casualties; hopefully their next business adventure will work out better. BM>> LIS somewhere, the webcams are back BM>> up but I haven't seen any of the eagles. My guess is I just haven't BM>> looked at the right time. Looked a little earlier this morning and now BM>> one camera's display says something about expired in 2018 (last year) BM>> and the other is displaying the currently empty nest -- early enough BM>> they might be out getting their breakfast. NB>> And maybe the eaglets are mature enough to have left the nest...? BM> Just checked: the webcams are back streaming live shots (yesterday BM> when I checked there was a message re: expired 2018) but nobody home. NB> At least the cameras are working again... :) Yes. I didn't see any posts on the repair but would assume because of this year's problem the connection box has been moved to a higher position. BM> The last official post was almost a month ago: BM> Friday, July 19, 2019 BM> Checking In BM> We are still working on repairs to our equipment and hope to get the BM> cameras back online soon. I have not been to the nest so I don't BM> know if Windy and Storm are still hanging out or not. I am attaching BM> map images of the four we are still tracking. They are all north in BM> Wisconsin/Minnesota and in both Ontario and Manitoba, Canada. NB> I wonder if the official person has had a chance to physically NB> check the location yet.... I'm guessing so. Appears the eaglets have been banded/have some sort of tracking device as there are maps to their location (at the time near Duluth, MN). BM> I've not seen (nor looked for) live location of the eagles. NB> Did they get a chance to put trackers on Windy and Storm....? Or NB> did the weather interfere there, too.... The trackers may have been installed late but was attached before they left the nest. ¯ ® ¯ Barry_Martin_3@ ® ¯ @Q.COM ® ¯ ® ....
