Pics after the Deluge

It is so great that on pettalk I get to see so many parts of the country and everyone's weather and impacts. Your home and flowers are beautiful, that water would really scare me!

Water can be quite powerful. Many folks got back into their homes for the first time over the weekend. They found ranges in the middle of the kitchen floor, on its SIDE! And washers and dryers located across the cellars and tipped over as well. Ripped right off the water pipes, which were all bent and twisted.

Still several sections where they are not yet allowing folks back home.

I watched that video from the Projo a few days ago. I'm originally from Warwick, and it had me in tears.

The number of roads that were closed; shutting down of major sewage treatment plants; the muck that is left behind. Truly an epic disaster.

Oooh, pretty flowers!

That sucks the rain has started again. We had massive flooding in Findlay my freshman year of high school. Everything was just a mess.

Like Gretchen, I was born and raised in Warwick. We lived only a few miles apart, but didn't know each other back then.

Seeing those pictures of my old hometown, was really heartbreaking. This is something that I would think could never happen in that area, but there it was. I've been thru a couple of hurricanes up there, but never anything like this. What a tragedy!!!

Sandie - glad that you are okay!!!

You folks got hit harder than we did. NH had a lot of flooding, but not as bad as you. When I heard 95 was closed, I couldn't believe it. Glad your house didn't get a wet basement. Flowers are pretty.
