Screw you thousand year rainfall  :(

Water level at the river house just hit the tin on the walls of the boat shed. Feet and feet in the river house. haven't got word of the slave houses. They have to be gone, it's even farther down river than the river house. The big white house in town has water to the door. It's amazing all the hurricanes these places have survived, we've never had water and flooding as bad as right now. This water is erasing our nation's history, memories of a great life growing up and the greatest vacation spot.  Christmas time will be hard work or cleaning up and trying to salvage what we can. Sucks.

That sucks man.  Bummer.  Hope nothing washes away, and the rest can be saved.

Just got word of emergency closure of hunting for the next days 5, for now. The animals are all screwed up without their normal ranges. Also seeing dead ones floating by that couldn't find dry land.

What an odd feeling to have dealing and watching so many fires here and then having so much family property destroyed and to hear the tears on the phone because of water back home.

Awesome pics, sorry to hear about the damage that the storms are causing to your families land. I grew up with hurricanes in Florida and have seen the destruction they have caused, its a good thing Southern people are a resilient as they are. Hope the water recedes soon...

I have walked inside of it once, never again.  Was in for about 4 seconds, took a picture and then something/someone told me to get out. I listened and will not return to the inside of it.  I will try and dig up the few pics I took.

Some of the Gullah lowcountry. Love that area. I have a stepson and daughter-in-law in Charleston. Got 24" of rain last week in 24 hours. Frightening but they're OK. A lot of folks aren't.

Wow! That's a lot of water. This is why you don't live in a flood plain. If you do you better have flood insurance. Dams are man made and can fail........

This house is not in a certified flood plain and the water is not from dams breaking. No dam within 100 miles of there and no dams on the river this house sits on, or in now. Not even a river or creek that feeds this river has a dam. This is the direct result of 23.2 inches of rain in 48 hours on this house and 20+" of rain in every direction from this house.

I completely agree with what you are saying, but neither of those apply to this location, oddly enough.

Very interesting. I guess there's some truth to these 1000 year floods...... I can't even imagine the much rain even being born and raised in the PNW.
