They are asking for more boats at Monterey and Greenwell springs (sat 8/13)

I assume you mean tomorrow, right?

I posted that on my way out yesterday, we launched at Monterey and made runs through the neighborhoods off Greenwell springs road until about 11pm. We packed it in after checking all addresses provided and picking up people wanting a ride.

I had to sit out this am because my 37week pregnant wife was not OK with be leaving while cell communications are in the shitter but our boat is still running people now.

anyone else know how bad it is there?
boat is strapped down to the trailer

Check yer locations again..

Sorry man, I didn't run that far. The furthest we went down Greenwell Springs was Lassen drive then worked our way back through the Forest Park neighborhood. We found out pretty quick that the most effective range for our boat was only a couple of miles. We could run on plane down most of GS to get to an area pretty quick but once we loaded the boat we had to idle back. They had some large airboats that could hold 10-15 people making the further runs to Montecello which is closer to GS marine.

As far as depths go, there was one spot in front of the shopping center with the Shoppers Choice that we had to get out and push the boat (with passengers in boat)across but by the 3rd trip we were floating over it. Everywhere else on GS was at least 4-5ft deep someplaces much deeper. Plant World (not Naylors) looked like it had a couple feet in it just before dark.

Edit: all of this was Saturday Evening/Night

I am curious...from your pictures, it looks like it would be hard to tell where the street is...how do you keep from hitting all kinds of shite like fire hydrants, etc.?

Where did you launch?

Went there Saturday afternoon after seeing a Facebook post requesting boats for that area.

Drove down Monterey across Choctaw. Monterey started flooding about a 1/4 mile past Choctaw. We just drove until we could slide the boat off the trailer (EZ Slide bunks are the tits). Someone with either the PD or FD gave us a couple of addresses and a firefighter jumped in with us to start hitting those locations. It felt a little weird passing up people in need but we had to check the locations given to us first. Then we just started picking up everyone else in the area who flagged us down. By 11:30 the people visibly looking for help were starting to dwindle and the NG started rolling in with the large trucks and some smaller zodiacs. It looked like that area was pretty well covered so we loaded up to gas up and get a little rest. I really have no idea if they are still using that location or still have a need for civilians in the area. Everyone I know worked the Oneal/S.Harrell's Ferry area today.

I am willing to help ride with someone. Have a buddy willing to do the same.

That's a pretty cool jesture if true, but definitely not necessary. We knew what we were getting into from the beginning and it was a small price to pay for the opportunity to pay forward the help someone gave my wife's grandparents getting them out of their house.

Same, if anybody knows of somebody needing help with a boat, let me know
