Epic 2008 flood pics!

Driving into my grandmother's neighborhood to deliver sandbags.



The front yard. Good times.



Standing on my grandmother's driveway. Yeah, it was that bad.



Taking a short break from sandbagging. By the time we'd finished, water was up to this place.



The water was so deep that kayaks were required to get sandbags to the other houses.



This neighbors house had almost a foot of standing water in it, when all was said and done.



People had to park far away (this is seriously zoomed in!), or their cars would stall.

When all was said and done, my area got something like 30" of rain. Fantastic.
