I wouldn't recommend that book, Haverhill. It really doesn't provide much insight at all into the current flood mitigation situation in MHK, as it predates Tuttle Creek Lake. Plus, I really doubt the story is very compelling. If you want a good disaster book that takes place in Kansas, I would recommend The Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan.

That's a good one, but Havs if I were you I'd skip the reading and go rent The Day After.  I mean a nucelar bomb destroys Lawrence, KS.

You should watch the Jericho series on Netflix.

Have you watched it all? I watched the first season on CBS, it was canceled but they brought it back for like 8 episodes to finish the story but I never watched them before that DVR died.

Ya they're on Netflix.  It's pretty bad but great to watch at certain times like organizing ammo or cleaning guns.

Had to go back 62 years to find a flood in MHK.

I live in Wichita, and like all places located on the Great Plains of these United States, getting rid of water in a flat place during periods of heavy rain can be a daunting task.  However, in 1950 the city planners began digging a canal to diverge flood waters of the Arkansas north of the city away and to the west, connecting back to the river to the south, safely away from the populous.  Thats why the 10 inches of water we've seen in portions of the Arkansas basin have thus far failed to flood our fair city.  In Manhattan, they build a giant dam to prevent the Blue river from flooding the happiest place on earth.

Havs, what i'm trying to say here, is that there is hope.

When you rely on FEMA dollars for infrastructure improvements, flood mitigation projects are counter-productive. I wouldn't look for cities in Iowa to start fixing problems anytime soon. Thanks, Obama.
