    Thanks for your concern Rich, yeah, we are fine.

    We are not located at high grounds, but the house is elevated, so we had a lot of water, but no damage at all. Not just us, the whole area is OK. Thank God.

    Great to hear that John, I was concerned and I am sure others were too!

    Unfortunately the 23 yr old young lady depicted in the video being rescued, is reported to have suffered a heart attack and passed away!

    My wife tells me that you're right about the young lady.

    No, the lady shown in the pictures being rescued from a small SUV is alive. It is another lady who was trapped in a Smart that got a heart attack and died. Poor girl got so frightened that her heart stopped before being taken to the hospital. Or at least, that's how I understood the news I watched yesterday evening.
