Hey guys,
What a way to start off living in a new country! So I was able to self-evacuate with my roommate because they had friends with a car, but it wasn't easy as most access points into where I lived was cut off. We eventually had to walk about 30min, climb over a centre median which was only possible cause the highway that it was on was closed due to the flooding, get picked up and then leave byway of the only bridge left open. So I got safely out but since I've been helping some friends of friends clean up their places after this disaster, I've been able to see just how damaging it really was. I feel for folks who lost basically everything... and then to hear stories of families torn apart due to this, not cool. I'll try to post some more pics I took along the way but since I didn't stay in my apartment, I don't have any peak water level pics, but it really is more of the same except with just more water.
