Condemned
Originally uploaded by neatlysliced.
A crazy storm hit on labor day. Flood water in many areas was chest deep. So weird to think of rivers flowing right in the middle of the city.
Everyone is okay, but 15 homes so far have been condemned. This is one of them. My friends lived here until their basement caved in. They lost virtually everything in just a few short hours. How wild – a few hours of torrential downpour can change your life.
I guess FEMA came out here because we’re officially a disaster area.
A tiny taste of disaster, right on the homefront. Unreal.

I still find it hard to believe that it happened here. I haven’t been able to see any of the damage. We live on the West Side off Meridian and it didn’t affect us in the slightest. My mom was telling me about how the parking lot where Shopko used to be on E. State was flooded and I still can’t believe it. I get my hair cut in that shopping center and I can’t imagine it being flooded with water.
