ReplyDeleteLong report.......so far, not so bad but wet. Culverts are a touchy subject considering so many were undersized when put in by public agencies.
Anyhow, this culled statement here, "IT ONLY TAKES ABOUT TWO FEET OF WATER TO FLOAT MOST VEHICLES." is funny in that "why do most vehicles sink then?" - HOJ
I just got back to the county and things look like they took a pounding. I lost the roof on one of my transmitters and a door on my greenhouse.
