Shortly after I got to work I was sent home so that people who live North of the river didn't get stuck. I quickly ran to pick up the kids and shortly after I got home they closed down Hwy 30 and Hwy 13. For anyone who doesn't know the area, that means that the only mode of transportation from one side of the town to the other is I-380.
Last night I saw some footage from our local tv station and it showed my office building. The windows were busted in due to the current of the river and the water level was above head level. I'm quite sure the pictures of my office from my previous post are the last of that office in any working order.
Once we got our Internet back, I went online and found some AP photos of the intersection I walk across every day to get to Jim's. This is looking down 2nd Street at the intersection with 1st Avenue. The brown building in the bottom right-hand corner is Wells Fargo. My office is even closer to the river than this photo: we are at the corner of 1st Avenue and 1st Street.
You can see I-380 in this aerial shot. The river is way at the top of this photo.
And I even found one of Josh's preschool teacher's daughters sandbagging.
There truly are no words.
