Pictures of Isidore

These are two pictures of the early rains of Isidore. It rained hard like this Non-stop! Walk outside and in 2 seconds you'd be soaking wet.

Street hasn't started to flood yet. I know at this time I-10 had shut down because of flooding. People were having to walk away from their cars or they were stuck in their vehicles waiting to be rescued.




This would be my dog waiting to go outside. The rain was too hard he didn't want to go out. First time I let him out he ran about 3 feet out, then came shooting back in.

This picture was taken at around 1am.

Right before I took this picture I heard on the radio there were two confirmed Tornados. Forgot where but they were warning people in Houma to take shelter.

This water came 1/2 up my lawn.



When I got up in the morning it had stopped raining and the street was starting to drain. Here is a pic of the water and current conditions.

Forgot to put this one in.

This is the jack@$$ nextdoor. He has had his house like this for months. That is a 3ft deep hole that goes all the way around the house. Now it is filled with water. He better be here soon to pump that water out or I'm gonna file a complaint on him.

We're getting rained on by Isidore right now. There's flood warnings all over Ohio today.

Pretty Neighborhood...

Looks real nice there. Out here in the desert you don't see as much green and just about ALL the houses are tan. Can't remember when we had rain last...

Looks like it's time for you to strap the Johnson outboard motor onto the F150 and go boating! LOL. We got rain but nothing that did anything like that.

I know there was lots of water on the road and it's not fun to hydroplane a 6000lb truck about 45 feet doing 50 mph on a two lane highway with headlights comin the other way. Would have never happened if my friend wouldn't have jixned (sp) me by saying " Does the truck hydroplane bad?", me "No, only ever happened once before".

No it is in a carport that is close to falling over... I want it to fall over though. Two birds with one stone. New garage and a new truck
