FLOOD PHOTOS

[Ocklawaha]

HELLO TEAM!

Grab those camera's and post photos of the tropical storm floods...

HUGE REQUEST, Can anyone get over to the bridge in front of the Prime Osborn and shoot a photo of Mc Coy's creek as it relates to the railroad tracks? Is the water is up to the tracks? Is the water over the tracks? If those tracks are soaking, we can kill the FDOT/JTA scheme to remove the tunnel system and all of the fill dirt where the old rail yard once sat. It's a violation of federal railroad administration rules to put a rail line in a flood plain.

Soggy in St. Johns...

No pics because it was dark, but I drove through San Marco a little while ago.  It's under water.  San Marco Blvd between Murphy Anderson and E Street had about 2 feet of water over it.  Most of those stores have got to have water in them.  There were some guys at Murphy Anderson barricading the doors trying to keep the water out, it was lapping right at the edge of the door.

Ocklawaha,
I tried to see the railroad tracks you were asking about on my way home from the CC Meeting but the cops were blocking it off. And the water level looked really high. Other than that I cannot help you. Also, I wish I could have taken a picture but Cassat Avenue looks like a like. Not just a little water, but lots and lots of water and about 10 cars and 1 semi stuck and abandoned!

On the way home from work Bowden Rd was closed in a couple spots. Roosevelt and Mcduff was closed. Park at Edgewood was closed and Herschel west of Edgewood was closed. What a drive.

I had to go to the Home Depot on Lane Avenue a few hours ago.  Cassat is under water and a section of Lane, north of I-10, is too.  Also, while on I-95, I did notice that the Honeymoon Yard tracks are underwater.

Maybe tomorrow, someone can swing by and photograph the tracks on the PO side of the Park/Lee Street viaduct. I think we got em by the gizmo even if all we have are debris photos, it will prove the folly of lowering the tracks, which, like I said, is ILLEGAL in the first place. When I spoke with the FRA inspector some time ago, he was completely unaware but VERY interested in how they slapped that low bridge in and lowered the FEC RY. He's asked for evidence... 

Okay team, go to it! I'm STUCK in St. Johns.... swish, swish, swish!

My Sister and her family reside in Fleming Island near Swimming pen creek.  The were asked to evacuate but by the time asked , could NOT leave (except by Kayak)  I told her to let me know when to come get them if need be. Lots of room at the dome (which is now waterfront property as well ,but not flooded).

It took us almost an hour and a half to get from Target at NAS to McDuff- Roosevelt was severely flooded in a couple of spots. Really wish we had a big truck right about now, there were tons of spots where our Versa would've stuck. Eventually, we were able to make it to blanding, over to Wilson and then up to 295. We passed what I'm guessing is some type of storm drain going under 295 and the water coming out made it look like a whitewater rapid- it was so incredibly violent looking.

I personally haven't seen flooding quite this bad around here- so many major roads were underwater. My wife said the parking lot at Orange Park Mall was underwater as well- that's insane. Has anyone been on Riverside Ave around St Vincent's tonight? I gotta work tomorrow night but if it's still flooded, I'll just see if I can walk/float to it.

And this is just a TS, that flooding on Bayshore is a sight to see.

You should see the pics I took of flooding in Springfield yesterday. It was worse than Faye, at least on my street.

So I tried to make it home from work yesterday.... tried...

Got as far as Lydia st. At least some nice girls let me hang on their porch!



Now I have to get my car to my house somehow (10 blocks away) and dry out the engine.
