I was running to get in the building at work before it hit... There is a ditch behind our work that never floods out of the banks and was in the parking lot and across the roadway. Flooded several vehicles. You could have planed a boat off in parking lot....I know my basement is waterproof now....
Ed, good luck on your surgery.
One of my stepsons lives behind the Mall at St. Matthews, he called a while ago and told his mom they had a terrible storm with water standing everywhere. We had much wind here and more rain http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/ohwell.gif
It was horrible today at work. One of the hospitals close to us was flooded and shut their ER down and we had twice as many patients as usual and they were really sick. Everybody worked together and we came out fine but it was rough.
i spent all day pulling cars and trucks out of the junk at UofL and all over town really some places was pretty bad but it was hit and miss not as bad as the national channels and other stations put out there,,granted some places did get some bad damage but the whole city was far from being under water,we was lucky the last two that came thru today passed by without much rainfall,that being said after being on the river sunday i dont think ill be fishing the ohio for a cpl of weeks, http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/doh.gif
It was wild! My wife's office got flooded out, luckily it sits about 2' higher than the parking lot - parking lot had fuel barrels floating around smashing into cars. Luckily though business is going to boom for them! The trucking outfit will be busy hauling fuel everywhere once the distributors get back online today - gas jumped to $2.75+ here in town! They're calling every driver they can get a hold of to start hauling it! Going to be a lot places needing to be pumped out too...
I spent yesterday morning in heavy ran in town, headed to Bloomington, got pounded by a heavy rain in the afternoon up there with 70 mph winds, and dodged falling trees and hauling butt trying to stay ahead of it all the way back to Louisville! Couldn't get back to the office to do any work since they had the interstate shutdown. Then, on top of that, the power at the house was out, so I spent a good bit of the evening bailing water out of the basement - luckily I was able to stay ahead of it coming in and nothing was damaged. Power came back on at 6 this morning....what a long freaking ordeal!

We got a lot of wind last night that leveled two trees in my back yard. They had managed to survive the remnants of Ike, the massive ice storm last winter, the freak day of sutained 60+mph winds this spring, the microburst that whacked town in June and the big storm that hit July 4th. A single gust put the both of them on the ground at the same time last night.
There are quite a few large trees down around the Murray area this morning.
