currently on university ave they are sucking water out of the drainage systems into trucks to keep water flowing through them...or something like that.

Hows CR? Someone should go check out the road my parents live on to the end. THAT has got to be interesting right now!

yeah, there was a guy riding his bike on the interstate. lol. and actually passing us. the cars were so backed up, we were only going 5mph max from hwy 30 until we got off at the 8th street exit.

and colton, yeah they're sandbagging mercy. and evacuating all of the patients. the nurses right now are mandated (have to come to work & can't leave until the hospital says it's okay.. my mom told it could be up to 5 days).. last i heard, water was around 5ft on the lundy pavillion. and mercy is on 8th ave/10th street.. so the water has made it pretty far.
