Doug Lau wades through water to retrieve pallets of dried gourds, grown at his wife's commercial garden -- Nana's Garden -- on the south side of Highway 6&34. "It's a repeat of last year," Doug said, except that he and Deb got less of a warning this year. About 7:30 a.m., Deb, Doug and Deb's son, Travis Davis, discovered water rising quickly around their house. The three gathered up Deb and Doug's three sleepy granddaughters, the family dogs and two tractors and drove through rising, rushing water to high ground. "We were standing out by the highway by 8," Travis said. That's where they spent most of the day, watching the water receded. (Connie Jo Discoe/McCook Daily Gazette)
