Flooding in Central Ohio..

[Logan]

Diana, I hope you are ok! Sorry you are experiencing pain and on the dreaded meds while this is going on all around you. When I heard Findlay, OH on the news, I immediately started worrying about you!

You guys stay safe!

DUDE!

I was flipping thru the channels and stopped at a spanish language weather report....
THey showed a clip of flooding and they identified the area as FINDLAY, OHIO!

Holy crap! Hope everyone is well and your plight is international news!

I am having some health problems and on some very strong pain meds.

Please, start feeling BETTER, Mom!!

My work has been cancelled the last few days because it is very close to the Downtown area.

Many people have lost their homes and businesses.

One of those sure to be effected is our own PTer - Carrie - Mom to Gabbie the Great Dane
and two Apartment Kitties!

She and her Dad own a Kitchen Store - right in the center of Findlay on S Main Street -
in the center of the Flood Zone in town.

Diana - have you heard from Carrie or tried to contact her?
I'm fearful their Store has flood water in it ... and poor Carrie and the FurKids
live in an apartment above the Store.

Let's all send a PT Prayer that their damage is minimal;
and that all of 'em are SAFE & Dry!

No, Phred, I have not contacted Carrie since any of this started even though I have thought about her. You are right I am sure the store has been flooded - in fact it is close enough to the river that it probably had quite a bit of water in it. I am not sure what Carrie would have done because her car would be parked in some of the deepest water too - I would hope she took the fur kids and went to stay with her dad who lives outside of town - I don't think near the river but I am not sure on that.

I have been sick since last Wednesday and have spent more time in ER's and doctor's offices than I would ever care to again - esp. since it wasn't until yesterday that the even began to figure out what was going on. I will share later about what has happened. The night that the major flooding was going on I was in the ER here in town from 8 pm to 3 am. Went to Toledo at noon for a doctor's appointment up there. Basically, I have been pretty much out of all which is happening as far as the flooding has gone.

My boss called and said we did not get water on the first floor but the stuff in the basement now had raw sewage in it and needed major clean-up. A lot of the reporters commented on people out in it riding bikes and just walking arouond and that the water did have raw sewage, gas and oil for peoples garages and just junk in it and it was not a very smart thing to be doing. As they were just coming on with the 6:00 Toledo News some man was walking along one of the buildings and slipped under the water. The were right on the scene as a rescue boat went out to get him. He was okay but his lips were blue and he seemed to be in shock. Another two men disappeared when they tried to get to their van which only the top was showing but later they must have found them because they have said there are no fatalities.

The water continues to recede but there will be months of cleaning up.

[Cinder & Smoke]

Carrie, Gabbie, da Kats, and Dad are ALL A-OK!!

Carrie answered the Kitchen Shop phone ... Dad was hammerin away in the background ...
FurKids are upstairs in the apartment ... Life Goes On!

The Kitchen Shop DID get seriously flodded -
but the flood waters ARE Receeding - and the water is now below the first floor.
They're busily *ripping* up ruined carpeting and positioning de-humidifiers -
doing their best to dry things out.

Carrie said Gabbie was NOT impressed with her favorite "spots" near the Shop/Apartment
being UNDER Water - so she didn't go potty for 24 hours ...
But they've found "dry" ground and she's "empty" now!

PRAYERS will be greatly appreciated by Carrie & Dad ...
they're footing the bill for the damage & clean-up ...
pretty *ruff* on a Small Business!

Fema is already on the scene.
Not sure what's going to happen.

Diana, Sorry to hear about your health problems

"When it rains, it pours" Hope you are already on the mend. The news
and film clips were all about Finday again today & they said the Blanchard(?)
river was 7 ft above flood stage. I'm glad though, thatyou guys keep checking
in here. I'm praying for all of you.

[cyber-sibes]

Oh gosh, Diana, I'm sorry to hear you've been so ill. I hope you get on the mend quickly, I'll be praying for you & Carrie & all our Findlay friends. Since I heard about this I've been thinking of all the people I know who live/work in the flooded areas. Prayers for everyone affected...
