The Aftermath of Debby


Yesterday I showed you this collage with just the first two
images side by side, now I added the third one which
I took today.
You can see how much higher that Black Creek is.
It has reached the 100 year benchmark.
I doubt too many people in this county remember when the Creek
was at it's highest.

So many people got flooded out of their homes along the Creek.

Sad to see.
We've also had major roads and bridges collaspe all over the
neighboring counties. There are people unable to get out
because two main line "sinkholes" opened up cutting off
an exit for about 400 families last night.

Debby was simply a Tropical Depression and she has caused
millions, if not billions, in damage across the State. She impacted the panhandle
and also the mid section of Florida as well as going all the
way across the state from the Gulf of Mexico into the Atlantic.
She is about 200 miles east of us now and is expected to
intensify again. I think she has been projected to head out into the Atlantic without
impacting anyone else in the US.

***
In other dire news our hearts and prayers go out to the tragedy unfolding
in the Western part of the US in Colorado.
If only they could have had our rain to put out those massive fires.

  7. Oh Abby - those are horrible conditions down there too. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope you don't have to worry about flooding? And yes, the fires in Colorado are horrible too. I think Mother Nature is really screwed up these days. She's making earth a miserable place for so many people.

  8. Such terrible flooding. It's always sad to see things like this because we feel so helpless. Fortunately Debby didn't dump as much rain on us. Too bad we couldn't have sent her to Colorado.

  13. Floods are scary. Having had some experience working for a public works dept assisting with flood warning, seeing the flood in person was quite scary. What came up first was the feeling of powerlessness, that all that water is going where it wants to go and nothing is going to stop it. The only thing to do is to get out of the way. I hope and pray that the recovery goes speedy for all those affected by the storm.

  20. Not only is this scary, but its just the beginning of the season. I hate to think what the rest of the summer holds for us! We're purring for everyone affected by the rough weather and fires. We could have used some of Debby's rains.
