  • @SicoticSquirell; I was all over the place shooting footage that day. I shot some clips of Hawkins Drive but the footage was too shaky to use.

  • OMG dude I live right down the road from there and I saw you!! cuz we went over the bridge thing (over ramp or whatevr) and I was like 'what the heck is tht dude doin?' OMG now i know what!!!

  • @gusherb94; Oh yeah. We had similar flooding last May but I don't think it got this bad. We had some major flooding in 1989 and 1997, and I think this matches it. 2009 was a wet year. It didn't flood then, but rained 2-3 times a week. I mowed more grass that year than I ever have in my life. But I think today was the last rainy day for a while.

  • What a mess. We had our share of rain 3 years ago, in September 2008. Things were flooded over like you show here, including very busy expressways shut down and lots of flooded neighborhoods. That 2006-2008 was our turn for tons of rain and flooding, it really rained alot those two years up here.
