Had chance to get out for a little look around and I have to say it is worse than I had expected. I started this thread as kind of a joke but I must say that there's nothing funny about it. We have seen lots of these before but this is as bad as some that were cat 2 we couldn't believe they were saying this is a 1. We still do not have power but as Mickey said thank God for generators. My understanding is that downtown is a mess and we were able to make it down to the river house and judging by the water marks in the garage we had 4-5 feet of water and we are the proud new owners of a rather large boat they came to rest in the yard. Everyone up north get ready she's a coming so be safe.
