It is very difficult to describe the impact of the Flood of 2008! I was extremely fortunate that my home was not impacted by the flood, but the damage to the Educational Service Center where I work has created a lot of adapting, relocating, and speculation on the future. I believe, though, that most of the roadblocks caused by the flooding can and will be overcome through hard work, cooperation, and creativity.
The floodwaters came close to us, and covered the bridge near our home. I've posted a slideshow of pictures on this blog showing the bridge during and after the flooding. A neighbor of ours who lives close to this bridge sustained a lot of damage to their house, garage, and barn. My husband and I were able to paddle our canoe down to their home and help ferry a lot of their belongings out. We were actually able to paddle down Bertram Road and on to Mt. Vernon Road...something that I never would have imagined would have been possible.
