Flooding, a set on Flickr.

And finally! All of the pictures from the camera have been liberated! There are some surreal and pretty ones in here as well as vaguely gross muddy ones, but they track the five main days of the flooding (excluding Friday when I fled to Rochester for supplies as everything here was flooded).

They are interesting, if nothing else!

I couldn't help but laugh at the thankyou card. With that much destruction humor is needed, but it certainly is unexpected to get delivered BY the destruction. And the mail thing is just a special kind of, well, special. And wow did the water get high. I'm more thankful of my city's flood control efforts every time I hear and see what a flood has done elsewhere (flood in 82 made the city go "oh HELL no are we going through THIS again" and then went all ape-shit army Corp of engineers daring the rivers to even THINK of doing that again--and it's worked fairly well).

Sorry you had to go through such, and I hope you manage to salvage some stuff amongst all the debris.

The thankyou card was pretty spectacular.

Funny thing is, part of the mail was the copy of X-Men First Class Blu Ray I had been merrily looking forward to having and watching...and the flood killed the PS3 I used to watch Blu Ray :D It made the delivery THAT much more surreal and hilarious.

I am hoping they do some engineering work in regards to flood prevention. The area flooded out pretty badly in 2006 as well, and it is getting a little...old.

We left the debris alone. The house was downriver from the sewage plant that failed, and everything...marinated while waiting for the water to receede. With the cholera warnings, there really wasn't much that was healthy to try and salvage :(

God, I'm so sorry. We had that happen to us a few years back. The water started entering our house and it was so scary. I can only imagine. Could you please give us a list of the things you need?
