Valmeyer, Illinois - Wikipedia
After the Great Flood of 1993 the residents of Valmeyer decided to relocate the town 2 miles (3 km) to the east, on land that is more than 300 feet (91 m) higher than the floodplain. The town was rebuilt with financial assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The old townsite has been described as a ghost town with few inhabitants but still an important traffic artery.[4] Valmeyer's successful relocation is seen as a potential model for other localities retreating from sea level rise.[5]

Are you my neighbour?
I've seen that cat in my garden!
No, you can't have four penguins. You have three at once and no more.
Somewhere on the PZ side of the forum there is a version of me doing just that. I heard them in the other air-duct at FD towers when I was scuttling about.
