We were amazed to see so much water on our street since we are not in an area that usually floods. The houses on the west end of the street got the most water. We watched the water come up from the street and from behind our neighbor’s house, watching the clock for high tide - it stopped just a foot or two from our garage. We were very lucky – lost 16 trees but no damage. One big pine tree fell down a couple feet in front of the house, exactly parallel to our front wall. Our neighbors all pulled together to help each other out.
Thanks to our great city for the way they kept us informed (gotta love the plywood signs!) and to all the workers who helped restore power. Also thanks to everyone who worked so hard on the elementary school and on our church (Tabernacle). We are hoping to be back in our sanctuary before Christmas. Lori Brandon |
