The flood after the flood from Irene

We were honored to have our friends move in with us while their house flooded for the second time since Irene. These are pictures of her street. This is the day after the waters started to receed. This last month has been a very humbling month for us.

I thought it was ironic that the flood water wouldn't cross the police line. They should have put these up at the banks of the river...then maybe non of the homes would have flooded :)

My friend Beth (in the waders) went back to her house for some personal items. Her neighbors wouldn't leave. They stayed in their home to keep the pumps going in the basement to hopefully keep their damage cost lower.

This is "Little Falls" there is usually not much more than a gentle waterfall.

basket ball anyone?

I've never had to witness the power of destruction Mother Nature can muster up! This was nothing but devistating.
