We had some flooding down here on the Minnesota a decade ago or so, pretty bad.
Highschool kids were let out of school for 2 days if they wanted to bag. I'd say they did a real job on that, not many slackers. Really worked.
I helped a day & 1/2, don't know who's back yard I was in, went along a couple blocks.
