Perhaps last season you watched the History Channel's reality series "Axmen."
The story followed the real-life hazardous work of four logging crews in the Coastal Mountains of western Oregon.
In the last couple of episodes, the show demonstrated the huge rain storms which flooded out the crews and their home base of Vernonia, Oregon.
The town recently had a local parade celebrating the rebuilding of their town. The four logging crews filmed in "Axmen" were celebrated participants in the parade.
A major contribution in the cleanup of the floods were inmates from the Oregon State Prison system who volunteered to provide their labor. The towns people were grateful for the inmates' efforts.
