Damn. I sure was hoping for a slight fall. However no change is better than a rise!

Getting ready to go check on my ridge road crew.

For those who aren't familiar and are seeing the "no change" reports, please don't take those to mean it's over. The water is still very high in Bluff Swamp and will likely be high for a few weeks. My uncle will be pumping his sandbags out for at least another week. It's nowhere close to over for those people.

Yes going to be a while before they get this thing drained back out. Hoping your uncle can keep up the fight and win the battle when it's all said and done.

I know most on that road. Sad. :( They had quite the setup there to try to keep it out.

Water on Bluff looks the same as yesterday. Barricades at Bluff Oaks have a gap. So maybe they're letting some cars through.

Anybody live in the spanish lakes subdivision? I went to my house there yesterday and all the streets are flooded and going over the sidewalks. I just pray the water doesn't rise anymore in the driveways. Stay safe out there folks.
