How Did You Get Thru THE FLOOD?

We're in the northern suburbs of Atlanta (a 12 min. drive down GA 400 to the beltway) and on a lakefront.

Fortunately, our backyard slopes downnnnnn to Lake Martin, so our home was never at risk. But it wasn't til the day after, when I put on my waterproof rainboots & slogged down to the nature walk that goes around this 55-acre lake, that I realized how far up the slope the waters had risen!

I put my photos with commentary in an album that's open to anyone to see on Facebook. It's under my name.

Picking up garbage along shore, blowing wet leaves off our steep driveway & decks is excellent exercise, BTW!

My family and I are fine. Both my husband and I had homes flooded out back in '72 - so a few flashback moments. (I was a mere 15 years old). Three neighbors died that week.

Our golf course (North of ATL) was flooded pretty bad Monday (my main exercise).

Bridges out, cart paths gone, entire holes under water, tee boxes gone. I really love the time my husband and I spend playing (the game is OK) but he HAS to talk to me out there and we have pretty great conversations. But he NEVER talks when we are driving somewhere! LOL

It is devastating to go through, and that is how my lungs and asthma got so bad - shoveling out muck and tearing down moldy walls. Hopefully people have learned and will protect themselves better - and keep their kids away until conditions are safe.

Be ready for rats! Might want to have some outside cats.
