A Soggy Saturday

Well, the main headquarters of Heavy for the Vintage had a slight hiccup this morning. I was evacuated due to flooding! Terre Haute received 7-10 inches of rain last night and my entire apartment complex flooded.

Luckily my apartment is on the second floor and my good friend Austin opened his apartment for me to stay in. I've included pictures of the evacuation, the flooding actually got much worse after my camera died. The water rose around 8 inches after these were taken.

I take a moment to applaud the efforts of Terre Haute rescue teams, including the fire department, ambulance service, and even political figures. Mayor Bennett was on site at my apartment complex and even personally ensured that I had a ride away from the emergency. The emergency teams were on site within an hour of the initial flooding and had good communication with the tenets. My hat goes off to them.
