Here in Hope Valley our babbling brooks are rivers and the rivers are white water rapids. We received nine inches of rain after having two previous storms of three inches plus. The ground is saturated and there is no place for the water to go.
We've had a huge problem with flooded, washed out roads and bridges.
The phrase "You can't get there from here", is frighteningly true. I've met more folks who were lost and couldn't find there way today, than I have all last summer during tourist season. I heard the phrase "Where an I?" More than once as folks try to navigate around the flooded roads to get where they need to go.
