SC got it worse than we did but we do have lots of homes with water standing in them in my immediate area.  Helped a friend get some stuff out his home Sunday and the water was up to my chest in his yard. we carried bags and boxes over our heads and in rafts to dry ground  He lost everything on the ground floor of his home.

Hearing mark say something made me think of you only living a couple of miles from the water...

Mornin comradesCoffee

Mark, G, I've thinking about both of you. Glad both of you are able to post. I hope both of you have power, clean water, and dry floors. Floods suck big time. Our 97 flood was caused by a 10" rain, I can't imagine 2 to 3 feet of rain, but it scares the hell out of me. Keep us up dated on your situation.
Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

Flooding is definitely bad news. We lost everything in '72 from Hurricane Agnes up in NY. Twas really scary ... and dangerous. You Carolina boys take heed and keep safe.

no water in the house... close, about 10ft away from the back rec room.
 
FIL's shop is about 4" of standing water in it,  luckily nothing really got ruined.

The good news I hear is that the rain has stopped. If your close to any rivers pay attention to when and how high it will crest in your area.

G, I hope your house is way above the river when it's only a 1/8 mile away.

I stopped by our Post Office a week ago and noticed pictures of the PO hanging on the wall that were taken during the 64 and 97 floods. I never realized the water got as high as it did then. The whole town was flooded.

It is amazing what too much rain can do!  You'd never think some places would get soggy much less have several inches of standing water!!!!  And be well above sea level!!!  Then there are stupid places to live like... below sea level in New Orleans...  Loco

Wow! look who swam to the surface. Welcome back. Good to hear that the South East is drying out. Did any of your inventory get damaged by the floods?
Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.
