Our construction team at work has been on hurricane watch for the past few weeks, little did they know they would have hurricane damage in Florissant. The above pictures are the center of my universe for about the first 16 years of my life. The handyman hardware in the pic is where my brother Jeremy works and you can also see the Walgreens and there is also a Save-A-Lot attached (hence the construction team I referenced earlier). This is crazy. Just to let you know there is a major street in between the hardware store and walgreens. Also, thanks to the Dierbergs, their chicken grease trap was picked up by the water so everyone is cleaning up water, debris, and chicken grease. This is so surreal. I was across town when this happened (about 7 miles), so I was dealing with other flooding. It took my an hour to go less than 4 miles because I had to keep turnging around to find higher ground. Crazy day.

holy shitballs!!! I knew you guys got rain however I did not know it was that serious.
we are lucky to get gas around here only one gas station has gas and they said not to expect any more for 2 weeks I guess Billy will have to ride his bike to work good thing work is only 2 miles away.
This happened around 10:00 on Sunday. This is what Mayor Lowery was announcing on TV about the evacuation. These are not my pictures. These are from the owner of a restaurant right by Walgreens. I would explain who the person is, but it is easier to say that I live in the small town of Florissant and everyone knows everyone.
