My second day, we visited Jefferson county. We started by visiting the emergency manager who was a lady who really had her stuff together. I would like to learn some more from her...very impressive handle on chaos.
Jefferson was screwed up. A big hassle for the residents was the bridges were out and you had many miles to drive (all the way down to Ft. Atkinson) to get over the river. Very severe flooding and the water hasn't gone down much. One bridge is open to only emergency vehicles. It's guarded by the National Guard and to cross, you have to show ID, drive 5mph down the middle one car at a time and think light thoughts.
We then went south to see Ft. Atkinson. Got blocked in some places by flooded road. Crazy. Hard to get places.
I got to meet up with some friends tonight and ate the best steak of my life. I had the meat sweats from the pound of ribeye. Yum.
