Good pic. Horrible about the loosing, of course. I just mean this catches it pretty well.

The images on telly are pretty horrendous. People standing on balconies or roofs and the muddy waters rush by in a torrent, SDF choppers lifting people off one at a time to safety.

They just rescued two residents with their two dogs stranded on a rooftop. I was a little stressed watching it Live on TV. So glad they made it.

I guess a lot of people ended up taking or giving a rain check here and there due to these heavy rainfalls. Good picture!

Awful! Some of the coverage looks like the 3/11 tsunami!! The SDF are doing a top job with their helicopters!!
