The reminants of Hurricane Francis have been visiting this Mountain college town. Well into three days of rain, it is flooding a bit here and there.
Bamboo Road past the airport is flooded 3+ feet above the bridge (1/4 mile from me). Which is enough to put 1/2 foot over the runway. That is one way into town from my apartment that is closed.
Deerfield Road is flooded at the new bridges (still wonder why they did not raise the road 4 feet or so when they put them in). There are 3-4 cars abandoned in the water there. The golf course there is also under water. That is the second way from my apartment that is closed.
Over the shoulder of a mountain via Wilson Ridge Road to the other end of Bamboo Road and US-421 is still open, but the water is with in 18 inchs of flooding Bamboo Road there. On the other side of the river the road is about 1/2 the hight of a quad cab Chevy four wheel drive truck under water. Since there is one abandoned there it was easy to tell that. If that route is closed my area of the county will be isolated.
The weather guy up here says this should taper off tonight. I hope he is correct otherwise I will not make a couple of appointments I have tomorrow.
Photos tomorrow or the day after (Wal-Mart is on the other side of those bridges). Trench coats and fedoras are still the photographers friend. The ME Super is drying on the kitchen table. Sometimes even I use a UV filter (GRIN).
Last time I heard something about you out in a rainstorm photographing airplanes, you had a little "event", did you not? Ah, the lure of photography!!
Seriously, Tom, I assume from your post that although the environs are now nicely soaked and partially submerged, you and your stuff is safe and dry?
cheers, frank
