Well, we have flooding like nothing else here. I have lived on teh same lot for 21 years.

The street has never flooded, it has 5" in the middle
The creek behind my house you can normally take a steep step across, you couldnt park a car long way across and its in my back yard.
The swimming pool has never flooded over, it did.
My car has never sat in standing water over night. It is.
Every major street out of my suburb, CLOSED. Even the fire trucks and medics wont drive thru it.

Speaking of fire/med, there "shop" is flooded
Local mom/pop gas station, its up to the top of the curb, the more rain tonight will flood it out.
Friends shop, its 3" under.
At friends house, we watched a FBI(do you have them in your area?) trash bin float across his back yard and ping-pong off the trees.

They claim another wave of storms tonight, plus on/off showers tommorow.

Ya, Arkansas is supposed to get pounded again Thursday night. Report back on Friday and give us an update.

That was thursday night. Its now friday.

It went down over night while raining, but its still raining.

Only one way out of my suburb. The rest have washed out roads, trees down, or still flooded.

Still at work, but it quit raining about lunch time. Roads look like they are starting to dry. Need to see if we are still due for another rain overnight.

I tried taking pics last night, but to dark.

1 road still washed out and untouched. Concrete barricaded off.
1 road ghetto patched, but passible.
1 road still flooded, still unpassible even in trucks
1 road was flooded, now all clear (but thats direction I never go)

Sucks when you're completely cut off from anywhere. We even had regular and cell service knocked out one year, and both roads out of town out. That just left a ferry to oregon to get out of here.

Hopefully your house and belongings stay dry.

You guys made the local news up here. Looks pretty bad from the video.

It was on NWCN, just a little blip. Didn't look as bad as we got the last two winters though. Razz
