Yes, we're afloat, some nearby streets have impressive flooding, but the office has power and our feet aren't getting wet. It hasn't rained for about an hour, which is a nice change from the solid downpour we had for several days. It's going to be on and off, but we'll take as much "off" as we can get!

Lots of flooded streets and several swamped cars around town, but the higher areas seem to be draining okay. Up near my house (I'm about 15 miles north of the office) we got 22" since Monday. The town of Bunnell, about 4-5 miles up the road from our house, is a mess. Many of the roads flooded, some washed out. Water in the elementary school and lots of houses and businesses.

The school where my wife teaches had lots of plumbing issues today. They had sewage coming up through the drains, and water intruding into a main corridor and the library. They had to move a whole mess of students (most of them 1st and 2nd graders) to other classes for the day. The best part was when the local "authorities" showed up to rope off the wet areas, they had run out of the regular "CAUTION" tape since so many places around town had been roped off already. So now a large portion of Old Kings Elementary School is cordoned of with yellow tape that says "CRIME SCENE-DO NOT ENTER".
