More Flood Stuff
Jeff Masters covers the entire weather system that produced our ‘200 to 400 year event’ on the Gulf Coast.
At one point I looked out and it was like a heavy fog caused by the rain hitting the saturated ground and throwing up mist. It was similar to what you see at the bottom of a waterfall.
Among the things flooded out was the warehouse for the Manna Food Bank in Pensacola, the largest food bank in the area. A lot of people are going to go hungry because of this storm, and the timing.
In my area a number of schools were flooded because they were built on ground-level slabs and the installation of lawns actually made them lower than the land around them.
