The Matthias Family > We experienced our first flood.  We live only about 5 blocks from the Little Calumet river in Indiana.  You can see the exit for Interstate 80/94 in the background.  Unlike some of the people living near the river, we only experienced about 7 inches of water in our basement.  Luckily we were able to move some of our boxes upstairs in time, and didn't lose anything.
