We just went through epic flooding here in Austell, GA last September. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Prayers for y’all.

Paper is reporting 5 deaths so far across 3 states I think. Round 2 tonight expected.

I remember when I was living in Stamford, CT in 2007, something had caused a river or channel or something to back up, and as a result the Rippowam River (normally really small) had overflowed to at least 8ft high, and where there were homes on the riverbed, the water was at least 30ft wide.

My first flood and it was interesting.

PRayers offered.

I remember in the late 1990's we had a series of thunderstorms go through South Jersey. We had over 14 inches of rain in 3 hours.

Took out a whole bunch of bridges.

I was in London for a fore-night and when I came through customs in Philly, the official told me he hoped I still had a house.

I had no idea what he was talking about and thought he was joking until I got home.

BTW I still had a house but a couple of trees on the property got hit by lightning.

They said “bad weather this weekend,” not “50 year flood event this weekend”. We just got our power back; it’s been off all day.
