damn, pretty crazy. was like the monday paper i believe? when they showed before and after. had like 40 houses, trees, ECT. after was dirt and no houses.

not trying to hijack your thread but here's what i got a few hours before IKE hit.


shortly after i got done taking this video the water made it onto 45 as i was leaving.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2SN2Fo6DlI
45 was 99% like this from exit 55, all the way to highway 146 exit.


where i took the vid. stillted houses already almost under water

don't cross the double white line

this up the road just a little bit

this 12-16 ft drainage ditch by my place never has water in it, and here it is overflowing into peoples houses. ON SUNDAY.

almost under


I have several more vids, and alot more pics. running to slow to get it all though.
