from Berig in Rochester, N.Y.

Been watching The National's coverage of the floods in P.Q.  and  watching local coverage here in Rochester of flooding of homes along the south shore of Lake Ontario.  Hard not to sympathize with people  whose homes are being badly damaged or destroyed.  I take it there really isn't anything one can do to relieve the water levels.  Perhaps a better system of portable water barriers should be developed, the sand bag method appears ineffective.   As for our local congressman, appears to be grand standing, for appearances.  P.Q. and N.Y.S. are just sharing the misery,  Hopefully this will all go away soon and home owners will recover.
