This is a look downtown. Several people were picked up by helicopter off of rooftops and a Dr. was taken by boat and then carried by a fireman so that he could get across to the other side of town where the hospital is. Several of my co workers could not make it into work because they live on the other side of town. They attempted to drive far enough north or south to get around it, but were unable to without going way out of their way.
A grocery store in the background.
A local school due to start next Monday. My friend, Barb, had just taken her kids there for orientation the night before. The road goes to the left of the crosswalk sign and then over the bridge. After work there was no water and I drove on that road.
The football stadium. The bottom rows of the bleachers are underwater.
After work around 7:00-7:30 pm. The water had almost completely receded.
You can see on this wall how high the water was from the wet spots.
Lots of news anchors and cameramen doing interviews.
The little river that caused such a big fuss!
The local park. There is always a little trickle of water over this road, but nothing like this.
**Edited to add: I don't know why only the first picture will zoom in, but least you can get an idea of what happened.

WOW I am glad the water receded quickly. I hope everything gets cleaned up quickly.
