Not me - I've been there. The remnants of Tropical Storm Erin did this to my town in 2007:
I had two feet of water in my office when the river stopped rising. There is no more helpless feeling than listening to the rain comes in torrents for hours on end.
I'll be praying for you and sending the Salvation Army some money to help. Good luck and God bless.
Thanks, Tony, especially for the prayers.
In 2005, we had a steady heavy rain for 8 days in a row. A dam burst, and the town of Keene, about 12 miles away, had three feet of water on the main street. Businesses were wiped out, residences destroyed. People’s houses in the path of the water were swept away, some with people in them. Bridges collapsed, some with cars on them. Some of the people swept away were never found.
Our road had a gap about 12 feet wide and 4 feet deep cutting across it. We had no way out, other than walking to our nearest neighbor, about half a mile away.
Oh yeah, it was nothing. I’m just whining.
