Flood @ MindSay

Been talking to my cousin in Mississippi. They evacuated on Sunday,August 31 2008. They live in Pass Christian, and my Aunt in Long Beach. 
Lynn said 13 feet of water in Pass Christian.They just finished their house after Katrina and losing everything in it. They did build up though! 18 feet in the air! Hope the surge is over. 5 more feet and it will be in their house. Right now just storage room on bottom level in water. House safe right now. Still has the door intact. Whew! They traveled 2 hours northward to escape. Haven't heard any news about Long Beach area where my Aunt bought a house. She still owns the concrete slab where her house was before Katrina. She did not rebuild in same place. Could stand in her driveway and see the Gulf. She lived Very close.
Keeping my prayers flowing for them!
Two pictures of my cousins house as being built........


UPDATE:10:45 pm Mississippi time:
Lynn said pray hard...water rising again!

Just wanted to share a few more pics of the flooding I took today.

The sidewalk closed pic is my fave out of this set.

I just wanted to share one of the pictures I took around Janesville yesterday, but in order to truly understand how much water there is, I had to upload one of the river too.

Picture number one is of the river and parking lot behind our public library.  The river wall here is shorter than anywhere else along the river.  Why? Who knows?

The second picture is the library's parking garage.  I liked this one for the reflection in the water.

It's unreal to see the river this high, and flooding much of the area around it.  I took more pictues than this, but really am not in the mood to upload much of them here.  It's such a pain to upload photos here.  I've got more posted on my MySpace site and my Deviant Art account if anyone would like to take a look.  Probably not, but the offer's there anyway.
