I believe part of the issue is with dikes the state put in upstream for the highway. I believe their argument is that those dikes caused the water to change course and erode their property. I don't understand why all the gov't agencies couldn't or didn't find a grant to either install erosion protect measures or at least move the homes. The gov't agencies fine people/contractors for spilling dirt into a river but whole houses are okay? Who's going to pay to clean up that mess which could have been avoided in the first place? 

The Musial's home is worth protecting and saving. I've always admired how nicely they kept it up. I can't believe those in power are just going to sit on their hands and watch it fall into the river. I hope the Musials are moved out and not sleeping inside it if it gets washed away.
