Dealing with the Flood | Duerstforverona

2018 Flood

Mike Duest shows his character during the August flood of 2018. A lot of water did not stop him. He figured out a way to get out of the farm (back roads) then orchestrated his family to find new vehicles prior to going on vacation at the end of the week.

Over Riverside Road

Mike has lived all of his life in the Verona area. Have the Sugar River go over the driveway happens every couple of years. The cars are parked at the end of the driveway and a tractor is used to go through the water.

2018 was the first time the Sugar River flooded over Riverside Road and over top of 4 vehicles!
You can see the sliver of a car on the top of the photo.
