Randy,
Your comment is interesting. About two weeks ago I noticed my Lehmans 
were not displaying data as I expected. (see last 2 
posts-Evansville,IN). The backwaters of the Ohio were within about 
1000ft of my house; and of course, the flooding made national news. This 
ended a 2 year regional shortfall of rain. My basement sits below the 
surface level of a small lake (50 ft from the house) and I thought the 
floor was flexing --- either from the house floating or seasonal 
temperature changes. I never expected the possibility of a regional effect.

Just a
                  thought on the timing of this drill.  When the
                  local river 2 miles east of me floods I get definite
                  tilt in that
                  direction.  Could there be any increase in risk caused
                  by the record
                  flooding on the Mississippi? 
                  There will be saturation of the ground and a huge mass
                  of water rolling across
                  the area creating a dynamic load.
