I think I have a fairly high tolerance for boundary pushing. Indeed, I actually really appreciate the way some folks dance all over the boundaries others have in a death grip.

Vigilance
The word of the day is "vigilance". The river may have crested, but the threat to people and property is far from gone. In fact, it is more important now than ever to be ready for what could happen.
