    My house had flooded three times, (twice while I have lived there) one in 2014 was just a flood and it was about 7 feet in my house, and the second time was in 2020 in Hurricane Sally, it was about 3 1/2 feet and we had a tree on the roof

  • @mirandaknudson3953
    @mirandaknudson3953 6 лет назад +13

    This is so sad... if a storm like Harvey came in my city (in FL) and it stalled, my house wouldn't flood. I live in the highest point of my neighborhood, so it's impossible for my house to be flooded, even if it's 20 feet of water. It all runs down to to pond way back in the woods. My heart goes out to those in tragedy.

    I was in TERRIFYINGLY Hurricane zeta :) we lost power as soon as the rain and winds came. We had no power for 2 days.We had to shower in dard and in cold water. all it was is to play outside. My 24 hours I'm we decided to go to my uncle who had power. Traffic lights were still not up so traffic was our problem. We charged phones. Btw it was my first time getting Chick-fil-A. And guess what? The power people told us the guessing time when our power was coming on! He said "it will be on by saturday." But a miracle happend! Right after my mom took her shower at 8, our power came on early. But during the hurricane, didn't want to look out window. It was so scary. I hate sleeping with no fan at all. But there is still one intersection that still doesn't have working traffic lights and it's 3 months later! But let's talk more about the traffic lights. All intersection s that had traffic lights hanging on wires were destroyed. But ones hanging on pokes was still working. I still gets shivers to thins day
