My city's downtown is almost flooded!!!
Edited on Wed Apr-05-06 10:05 PM by SmileyBoy
Here's a pic from yesterday:



The floodwaters are receding now, about 2 1/2 inches lower than the peak yesterday afternoon.

You can see my house in that pic. There's four brownish squares off to the left horizon. One of those is my dorm building.

The public works guys were out cleaning all of our street drains, and we still have a week of rain coming. I may need a raft too. :P
