Whoa... That is way crazier than the mental images I had (which, if they are in my head, are pretty crazy).

And now the damned storm is COMING BACK? Do your best to keep above water, don't get eaten by gators, and lemme know if you guys need MREs. Seriously.

My brother was a total pansy about the whole thing - "but it's cold! and wet! I'm not going in there!" *rolls eyes*

It's kinda stalled out again up north (over Amie and Jesse, I think) and they really can't figure out where it's going to go next.

The same brother who lives in the water...?

IT NEEDS TO GO OUT TO SEA.

The very same! It was an extreme level of pathetic.

Wow... Hope the water damage isn't too bad once everything dries out. And they actually said on the national news that people had to watch out for gators swimming through the flood water. *shudder*

We managed to keep the water from getting into my grandmother's house, though it was a very near thing (about 1/2"). The neighbor isn't so lucky. My dad's boss also has a foot of standing water in his house... and fish swimming in his kitchen. :(

Ahhh, Florida in the late summer.... swimming pool, with alligators.

I've yet to see an alligator, but I've seen water snakes and the like. I got bit by a spider yesterday while trying to clean up some downed tree branches, so that was fun.

That's...a lot of water o.O

I don't think I've ever seen a flood.

It was a LOT of water! A few of my friends from the mainland have posted their pictures and it's possibly even more crazy over there, with lots of cars covered completely over with water.

That's insane! That storm is just sitting over Florida. Crazy.

Glad you guys are alright!

Thanks! Yeah, it's stationary a bit north of us. We've had on-and-off rain today and yesterday, but it's not NEARLY as bad as it was. It just... poured. And kept pouring. For almost three days.
