We got it today. Had to evacuate my office this morning. The whole county is a disaster area. I'm pretty sure my wife's car is history.

I've stayed dry here in Frederick, but we have had the rain!

I heard Monday that the federal government in DC was on unsceduled leave because of the flooding, mainly because some of the trains couldn't make it down the tracks.

I am so sorry to hear about the flooding. I'm just thankful that our home and our rental property are both on high ground. But that night we had dinner with friends out in Gaithersburg and had to be detoured 4 times on our way home because roads that we usually used had been flooded out. And these were roads that have never been flooded during my entire 12 years in this area!

I can't believe the amount of rain that came down. It was horrible. Thankfully it's been sunny today.

If you need any help, let me know.

I'm near Binghamton, NY. 15,000+ people evacuated (including a hospital) and large sections of the city under water. Slightly east of here a bridge on I-88 collapsed, killing two truck drivers. Personally, I'm on high ground and OK, except for about 2 inches in my basement and a swampy yard...!

I am heading down this morning, Woodsheal. BCC has been closed for two days, and I fear that our storage facility on Front St. is under water, or was under water....

I have to run to the office, since traffic is allowed in, and might as well see if I can check out my storage situation.......

Just got back from the upper Front St. area, and it looked OK. I hope your storage escaped damage...!

We got it bad in Walton and Delhi. Walton, especially, is destroyed. Here are some pics from my office and of my wife's car. The brown line on the wall in pic #2 is how high the water got.

Scotty,

Sorry to hear it. It happened to us a few winters ago. Basement floodied. We lost a lot of books (not too bad) but a whole pile of photo albums with the kids in as babies (irreplaceable).

So, know what it feels like . . . my sympathies.

Thanks, everyone. Looks like some of you had it much worse.
We will be getting new floor in the bedroom in a couple weeks... in the meantime we are sleeping in the den (musty, bleh). Books are a hit and miss loss. That hurts. It's a lot of them. But photos are all fine. We are well. Just inconvenienced.

Thanks, again.

I can understand how you feel, in Carlisle 18 months ago, we had a major flood, it was a disaster, people had to be rescued from their homes etc. It brought the city to a standstill, After all this time there are still some people not back in ther own houses. All I wanted to say is my thoughts are with you & all others that are affected.
