My parents, sister, and 2 nephews are there with water halfway up the driveway. I called the 686 number and couldn't get through for over 15 minutes so I called 911. They said they will be put on the list to be evacuated. Does anyone know if there is anyone doing rescues in the area now? TIA

I have a friend there. He was by himself...got trapped in. He was on fb at 3:30-5, asking for rescue. Water was coming in the house quickly.

AT&T happened, and nobody has heard from him since. His address has be given to the proper authorities. I wish I could reach him!

Yes, heard reports this morning that this was occurring. Not sure the level of flooding but maybe they're stranded.

I heard they were picking people up at Buddy Elles and Bobby Gill Rd but there is no way they can make it to that spot. They will need someone to come get them.

Dad just said that a blackhawk just landed on the next street over and dropped a flare on their street.
