I live right up the street, as I have my whole life, and I've never seen Chiques flood like that. Coming home from school I passed the Amtrack off of Main and someone was canoeing down the flooded tracks. It was crazy.

I just missed getting stuck in that flood by about 1 hour.

I am so thankful I got home when I did.
