Those photos are rendering me speechless.

I so dislike when the national weather people mention DELMARVA PENNINSULA........

Through 6 AM this morning, Jeanne had filled our rain gauge to the 6" top. So we got at least 6" from Monday Am thru Tuesday AM.

We are in the distant NE suburbs of Atlanta.

Notice the higher rainfall totals in NE Ga versus NC. We are west of Hartwell Dam in Ga by about 90 miles. We had some very heavy rain bands move over us from 3 Pm - 11 PM last night. The storm was slow moving over N Ga. WE had VERY heavy rains, but only moderate winds.

We have property in Macon County/ Otto, NC that suffered serious road erosion and rutting from Frances -- but that rainfall total exceeded 8 inches. Jeanne not so bad.

Notice the flooding in the top two pictures occurred after only 3.3 inches. Imagine what could happen if they had gotten 8 inches...

Parts of my area in VA have had over 12" of rain.

Pictures taken about three hours ago from the top of the building in which I teach. In the third one, a co-worker is talking to me on the cell phone. My principal took the pics.

Friends with mailing address of Banner Elk lost so much in the first storm I can not imagine what more flooding would be like.

The cabin I stay in, when visiting them, was moved and the steps are 1/4 of a mile away.

Their lawn and garden and peach trees are all wiped out and replaced with ROCKS. The pictures she sent showed others who lost entire homes.

We have confirmed that our mountain house survived. Your friend must be devastated. What can we do to help?

The danged crap from Gannett doesn't let me post a whole bunch here aboutthe tornado in Delaware - but I am at least posting the link:

Tornado confirmed near NCCo airport

There is a link there to a picture gallery that I can't get to work or I would post pix.

national guard planes were severely damaged (destroyed) and they estimate 15,000 gallons of jet fuel spilled. Several businesses were also severely damaged (destroyed) and there are eyewitness accounts from owners and employees.

Once again, I have been very, very fortunate with these storms, and I daily count my blessings.

Note that Ivan is the Russian form of John and Jeanne is the French fem. form. Two Johns indeed.

Well, dang, Gabz....and we thought you were going to slip through this one with nothin'! I saw it on the weather channel. That was a mean one. It did some damage!

Thanks for asking...she says that "folks" there just all pitch in and help each other. I guess you must be like that too.

I am afraid that all they can do is get heavy equipment in there to open their driveway and wait for nature to add its green glory to the rock piles. The pictures actually look like the rocky bottom of a dried up lake.

They had a small run-off type creek that was partially diverted to a large pond. The actual creekbed circled the property and went under the driveway entrance.

Their house is set on a steep incline and I think is AOK. It looks like a log house set high above the main road with a long and sometimes steep driveway.

They seem most concerned for a young man named Jason who lost his home entirely. He is a person of limited ability and one who had friends to support him. If you hear of a house building party you could offer to help in some way.

I do not think my friends will need help since insurance was adequate...but I will tell them of your concern and get back to you if they need your help.

Thank you again for the offer...boy it sure proves FREEPERS are awesome!
