Flood of 2008 pics

Good point Amcarrig. I edited my comments to avoid and uneeded drama.

 

Thanks Kris

 

got to read the original in my email and AMEN.....nuff said....

 

OK, here are some more fresh uploads:

A wider view of US 31 before it was closed:


Washington street, hasn't flooded since 1913:


A fence across from the hospital between the People Trail and Greenbelt golf course:



A ramp of gravel going into my Grandma's neighborhood, the pipe underneath is pumping water from East High School to Clifty Creek. For 2 days they dumped it into my Grandma's neighborhood, THANKS for that one!


A far away view of the hospital, water was about a foot to 18" deep in the hospital. This "creek" usually has about 20' deep banks at normal level:

 

Well, no new pics tonight, I will sometime this week I PROMISE!! My grandma's house is ready for sheetrock and a local company is donating materials and install, a HUGE relief!! A volunteer group (I'm pretty sure it's United Way, I can't remember) is supposed to be sending a bunch of volunteers to help us finish up, including carpenters. If it happens that will be AWESOME! My dad, 1 uncle and myself are doing a majority of the work, so it has been a slow process. The shopping center shown above is now mostly open with about 85% occupancy. The community as a whole has banded together really well and some people are even moving back into their homes already, but not many. Like I said, I will post some more pics and updates sometime this week!
