During the rainy seasons we always buckle down and expect a number of them to happen, but the one in WV just hit harder than most do. I live nearly on top of a mountain, so I have to worry more about landslides. But five minutes down the road, or thirty minutes the other way, where the town is in a small valley? If it even rains six inches there's a minor flood going on as it runs down and just sits in the town.(08-20-2016, 11:07 PM)Arrelaine Wrote: Flooding has been terrible this year. Southern WV went through it's own flood disaster just a few months ago or so. I'm glad it's getting so much coverage, hopefully it'll help with the efforts. It's going to take a lot of clean-up; we're still cleaning up some parts here.
We had really bad flooding up here back in March, and people are still cleaning up/fixing their houses, too. I think the difference between the floods here and what's going on in South Louisiana is that people had time to get out. They knew ahead of time that flooding was going to hit most of the places that got flooded. With the current flood, it was all flash flooding, which caused many people to be caught unaware in their houses.
