I was talking about Floyd yesterday. That storm caused an ecological disaster with catastrophic flooding in a heavily agricultural and livestock industry region.
Our local tv news was covering Debby aftermath. A local Catholic high school has all of its athletic fields underwater, with school starting next week. Sheriff’s Dept. is working to rescue large livestock, including horses stranded in the flood waters.
Then they showed a photo of a red car crushed by a tall tree. They said it was in Bluffton GA. I wondered if they meant Bluffton SC. There is a Bluffton GA, NW of Tallahassee. Anyhow, I thought we would have enough local storm damage without showing fallen trees in other states. 🙄
Flooding like we had from Floyd? YIKES! Our property was “OK”....ground VERY mushy and lots of ankle/calf high standing water all over, quite a few big old trees down [we have 12 1/2 acres]. But our biggest problem is we could not get out anywhere for just under 2 weeks. Every single road around us was either washed out or under lots of water. I hope and pray Debby is not gonna be as devastating as Floyd was to our area.
It was so heartbreaking to see so many who lost everything along with all the livestock that was lost.
NautiNurse, thanks for all you do keeping us informed with these threads. I very much appreciate it, as I am sure others do also. These threads are my “go to” for hurricane info!
