I'll post this message below here rather than bring up an older post:

I live on a peninsula. Today it became an island. It did that in Frances too. Some people parked in a nearby parking lot and walked home through the water. Salt water, not good. I'll have some video later. Spent 3 hours directing traffic through the water tonight. People kayaking in the streets, water coming over the seawall, couple feet of water flooding the only entrance to where I live. Helped push several cars out of it, and some other people used a rope attached to their car to pull several other cars out. Getting windy here. Only small limbs down around. Have a roof leak that got worse, which we plan to get fixed in a few weeks, that we have a tarp over and boards on the roof holding it down. One of those flew off. My dad just went back up on the roof and redid it and added some more weight to try to keep the tarp on. Have to keep an eye on that tonight. While I was directing traffic one car did the right thing and slowed down through the water. (I guess technically the right thing would be to turn around, but at least he was careful) Then, some (insert bad word) speeds around him because he doesn't want to wait and then floods his engine a couple times. I was yelling and laughing. Smoke was coming up as he tried to get it going. That is definitely going on YouTube later too.

Saw some transformers blowing in the distance, not sure if I got that on video yet.

While I was out at the front entrance someone said they had a barge doing work on their boat dock. It broke lose and they had to call the person who just happens to live a few streets over to secure it before it did damage.

Had to remind some people tonight about where we live. Our front entrance floods due to the sea level. It comes up through the storm drains and floods the front entrance and a nearby street and part of the golf course. And once the road floods, you wouldn't want to skid off into the invisible ditch. The car would be underwater probably because they just made the ditch larger and removed all the mangroves which had been blocking the corner from being able to see around.

Over 7 inches of rain today too. Fresh water is not a flooding problem for me, although across the street from me I guess it can be a minor nuisance. Backyards were flooded. Water was not draining well.

Saw a little turtle enjoying the flooding.
