How I Got Thru THE ATLANTA FLOOD!
Being born & raised in Manhattan, I never listenned to weather forecasts as if my life might depend on it.
That changed when we moved to Houston (western suburbs off the Katy Fwy) and I learned that FLASH! flooding is a literal description of what happens to your street, and that tornados are close by when the manhole covers start dancing like whirling dervishes 2 ft. above their openings! Not to mention hurricanes charging up the highway from Galveston...
Since 1981, we've lived in the northern suburbs of Atlanta (a 12 min. drive down GA 400 to the beltway) and (for the last 4 yrs.) in our dream house 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!
