Thread: Any damage??

I am very fortunate to have only a wet carpet. My farmer buddy in north Foley said we had a hurricane without the wind---really messed him up.

Thoughts and prayers for y'all. Hopefully things will dry out and not too much damage and get back to normal. Take care..

Fish River at 09:00

Seeing these pictures i feel lucky, I'm about a quarter mile from the lower part of the fish river, waterhole branch was "only" up 6-7 feet. There are a few big boats under boat houses they were damaged from hitting the top. Haven't seen any major damage around here other than a sinkhole on CR.24 that ate half the road, probably others around though, lots in Mobile

Glad to hear you escaped the ravages of "The River Gone Wild" FC.

Most of those aren't sinkholes, just our typical potholes ;-) LOL

Fish River was high and flowing fast around 10:00 yesterday morning.

This is what that spot on Fish River 'normally' looks like...

This is the 'flood event' (with water height and turbidity) graphed out from the water quality station near that pier...

This is the Perdido Pass flood in a similar perspective:

Ignorant Northerner question here... are gators found in the flood waters like the streets? (up here when it floods that bad kids go play in the streets...)

Just about anything is possible when it floods, animals are going to be displaced.
Yesterday an alligator was wrangled on the gulf beach in front of some condos.
you don't see that every day ;-)

Mostly we see LOTS of red ants 'rafting up' in flood waters and snakes heading for higher ground...

Ouch. The house I just bought is in Bear Point. I guess the stilts were a good investment.
