Measure depth? Searching for false footholds? Kinda odd seeing sighted people using canes.

tragedy and scary part begins. What is under all the debris? Been through a Spring River flood and the cleanup was heart wrenching to say the least. Never knew what was under pieces of buildings or what was inside that once submersed vehicle.

Pictures are surreal. I feel so sorry for those impacted. Months to get their lives back to anything resembling normal. However, unlike Puerto Rico, they'll have the full support of the US gov't.

They live in coastal town, but inland and not right by the river or the beaches. Still, it’s very dangerous with all of the flooding and downed electrical lines. He has plenty of storm supplies, gas, and a big generator. He’s dreading the 24-7 post-disaster phone calls.
