Larry,
I thought it was spelled "dike"...
but what can you expect from this pun-net of Pentplorables?!
;-)
There is a funny comment written below the entry for "dyke"
on Merriam-Webster online page:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dyke
And it mentions "the story of the little boy that stuck his finger in the
hole in the dyke and saved Holland."
(read the entire comment on that page)
By the way, here is the Wikipedia page elaborating on that story about the
Dutch boy who plugged a dike with his finger:

Cheers,

PS. Speaking of the "interesting" things, - I will spare the list from the
photos of a 12.5-foot beam suddenly separating from the top of the vaulted
ceiling and hanging on the light fixture wire, and a 24-foot beam that
luckily did not quite do that yet. All those were a result of the
unusually strong (for this area) hard freeze (16 F (-9 C)) several nights
in a row, followed next day by high 70's-80 F. (+24-- +26 C). Fortunately,
the beams are not structural.
