Question

Read the e-mail. Dear Cousin Jeff, We've been watching the news reports on all the rain in your area. You're so close to the river! Do you have to use a boat to get everywhere? Have you stocked up on supplies or are you going to "run for the hills"? Mom says it would be awesome if you and your family could stay with us until the rain stops. Let me know what your folks decide.

(I think it would be really cool if you stayed here!)
