The deluge stopped around the time of my AM walk, so with my new iPod Touch 4 with camera in hand, playing my music, I snapped off several images, and a couple of videos too, of what I saw. While only a fool would drive through the overwashed road, two of them from a local TV outlet did. They made it with no trouble fortunately, jumped out, and asked me if I cared to be interviewed. I said sure, why not.
The roadway you see here has flooded worse in the past, but not for a very long time. Engineers from the DOT built several "solutions" over the past few years, but nothing can prevent a road being overtopped, when it blocks normal flow from a nearby creek, and when so much rain comes all at once. So, we all wander down, take a picture or two, then walk back home. Kids love it when the school bus can't get to them.
