Your neighbors in Shiocton are really something else
Green Bay on the wire — cold hands, warm hearts, and Lombardis.
Yeah so, here's the deal. You see all this rain we've been getting, and the Wolf River is just *gushing* right now. They told folks in Shiocton, just a bit west of us, to clear out. Evacuate, you betcha. The flooding there is serious, threatening homes and even the wastewater treatment plant in nearby Manawa. But you know what some of those Shiocton folks did? Ope, they didn't all leave. They stayed.
### Green Bay and Our Neighbors
So, you got the authorities telling everyone to get to higher ground because the Wolf River is just swallowing everything up. And what do some residents do? They grab shovels and start piling sandbags to protect their neighbors' homes. Not just their own, mind you, but everyone's. That's the kind of thing that makes you just shake your head and smile, which is wild. It's that true Wisconsin grit, that "we're all in this together" mentality you see from Manitowoc up to Door County.
* **Community Spirit:** Folks putting their own safety aside to help their neighbors is just pure Wisconsin. * **Preventing Damage:** Those sandbags aren't just for show; they're saving people from losing everything. * **Beyond Green Bay:** While Green Bay isn't directly flooded, this kind of interconnectedness with our smaller communities is what makes this region special. We look out for each other.
You see it in the way we rally around the Packers, even when things are tough. It's the same spirit, just on a different field. This kind of stuff, it really hammers home what it means to be from around here. It's not just about what happens on Lombardi Avenue; it's about what happens on every small-town street when trouble hits. And Governor Evers declaring a state of emergency just solidifies how serious this all is for our state, making those volunteers even more vital.
