I just got back from visiting the credit union, and some of the
residential streets are still blocked off due to flooding. I did get a good
look at the intersection where I decided to bail out of the sidestreets. The
water there this morning was up to the foundation of the one house, and now
that it has drained away I can see that it was about 2 1/2 feet deep, which is
well above the bottom of my doors.
