My flooded street

Here's a picture of the view 1-2 doors down from my house looking towards Foster. It was all completely closed off and flooded. The rain came and went, and the river just flooded and flowed everywhere.

The city's response was poor. We never knew what was going on, and despite dozens of men standing around, sometimes moving sandbags, sometimes not, we never knew what was going on.

All of the houses in this picture had many feet of water in their basements. We seemed to be dry, which was nice.

The power went out at about 4am on Sunday morning, and they shut the gas off on my neighbors. As we left at about 4pm, the word among the neighbors was that we were all supposed to get out and they were to going to turn the gas off to prevent a leak.
