After taking a drive around the valley this afternoon looking at the floodwaters, I'm beginning to think that we may have dodged a big bullet with this flood. The water, while still high, isn't getting as bad so far as many had thought. On the noon radio report, they had said the area had not gotten the amount that had been forecast. So instead of the water cresting by mid next week, they are now looking for it to crest on Easter.
The water so far has only covered the northbound interchange at I-77 and all other roads to the outside world are passable. Rt. 800 near the Zoarville area does however look like it will go underwater by the end of the day. Luckily, the Suns been out and the wind is blowing at a pretty good clip, so hopefully it will help dry up some moisture before it rolls off into the Tusk and then on to the roads. Another thing we noticed is that it appears the ACOE is doing a REALLY good job getting what water that had made it into Zoar out of Zoar.
We'll likely go out for another lap later this afternoon to see if it's gotten any deeper.
