The water was not rushing, just rising quickly. Also, I had a quick escape route if things got too bad. Just the material damage alone is enough to render you awestruck.

But some of the other homes in the lower parts of the neighborhood? looked like a disaster movie...

Many animals in my neighborhood died...feral cats, pet dogs, gophers, etc.

Managed to save a poor gopher that was near death that floated over on a piece of wood...relocated him and he came around.
