One of the better TV movies.

"Based on a true story. TV movie of the week status aside, this little flick is prety good. Richard Thomas looks like a man now instead of JOHN BOY and he can still act. Vernon is good in her role and the long lost love angle works between these two. Great watch with the one you love. The MOVIE HOUND gives this flick 3 dog bones."
A good film from an Emergency Management P.O.V.

"The movie has a good story line and does a good job of showing the resistance Emergency Managers come up against in efforts to mitigate against disasters. It demonstrates the attitudes individuals in a community have when it comes to responding to a disaster. The move did get a little sappy in parts and just screams "Made for TV", but overall it was an enjoyable, uplifting movie."
Very real

"I live in Missouri so the flood of 93 is very real for me. This movie gives a very real portrayal of the happenings during that time. It also represents the sacrifice and heroism that was around at that time."
It was okay

"Low budget and predictable disaster movie but satisfying enough for true disaster movie buffs. The casting and acting were decent--unremarkable but realistic special effects, especially when compared to the for real mega floods in the Midwest, summer of 2008."
