gpatt0n Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 After the show, went out and got this photo taken showing the flooding at The Grands store in Hiram at 92 and GA 120 Connector (aka: Hiram Sudie Rd.). This is the point that GA 92 was flooded. The photo was taken just before midnight - Doesn't look like it I know but it was a frame capture from the video I was shooting taken during a lightening flash. Pretty good flash. Note the car with water up to the windows. Powder Springs police were blocking traffic on US 278 about 1.4 miles east of the Paulding County line. Both Seabord and West Avenues north of US 278 were blocked because of flooding. There are a lot of pools on the roads that can cause hydroplaning so drive under 40 mph even on the best highways.pubby Click for RECENT TOPICS click for RECENT TOPICS click for RECENT TOPICS Link to post Share on other sites

raclay Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 OMG!!! Great picture Pubby, but I really feel bad for the person whose car is now ruined. I hope the water stayed out of the businesses at least. Link to post Share on other sites
gpatt0n Posted September 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Thanks: I do pretty good. I forgot to mention that the authorities were keeping folks away from that location because when you get close, you'll smell gasoline. Gasoline being lighter than water, is leaking from the tanks, apparently, and is creating quite a fire hazard at that Grands. pubby Link to post Share on other sites

cherokeewoman Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Pubby right behind this gas station is a climate control strorage unit... a lot of our guys from around here had thier things stored while serving in Afgahinstan, well this place flooded, some units worse than others...... family members had to go yesterday and clean out his storage unit, it was not as bad as some others, but everything they own, is in there..... there are a lot of national guard people's goods stored there..... it is really bad..... they are in Afganistan serving their country, and their stuff is ruined..... they picked it becuse it was climate controlled, but the flood did bad damage...some lost all they owned. If everyone does not come to clean out their areas, the mold will just grow.. They move some things to a dry areae, some things here, there and other areas, but this was sad, he is serving his country, and everything he owns is under question, and he can not do anything about it, but rely on his family cause he is in Afganistan...... everything need to be dried out, family memebers haulded a lot out to try to dry out, but this is a sad situation, he saw this on the news on the internet, but he can do nothing about it..... everything need to be dried out... it is all he owns, and a lot others....it is a sad situation, he can do nothing, but it is all they own in the world, they need to keep their mind on their duty on not what is going on over here. They put things in a dry storage, but they will have to watch it, cause if it does not dry out they will loose everything.... don't know what else to do, pray these soldiers don't return after serving with out anything to start their lives with..........
