Arizona flash floods are serious!


It went from sun to very dark in 15 minutes. Trees starting going sideways with rain. 15 minutes later I'm watching an inch or more of water creep towards my back door. It's stopping now the water receding back. Thank god, thought I might have some water in the house soon.

Hope you’re ok. It happened once in ‘Sunny’ Bournemouth. I was at the air show, trapped in a marquee with a mountain of alcohol, lol.

Alcohol is a required supply for any flood preparation. 😀

It was a business function that I got invited to and the hosts said that as we were essentially trapped and going nowhere, we had to eat and drink everything there (90% of the invites stayed away because of the weather). I gave it my best shot, lol.

I’ve been through several floods and this one was my worst. I had over 5’ of water in my house. The flood has it’s own Wikipedia page. We didn’t see any form of governmental assistance for days.

Blimey!

Blimey is right. I’m in Livingston parish where over 75% of the homes were a total loss. It was a wild time.

I’ve been lucky to avoid flooding (my house is at the top of a small hill), but we had a house fire in 2017 and were displaced for a year, so I can imagine what you went through.

Omg. That must have been horrible also.

Nobody died and everything was replaced - we were very lucky.
