And my mother mocked me when I moved to Bankview. "The hills" she said... "The hills will be treacherous in the winter"... Haha! Joke's on her. I drive a 4x4. The fine citizens of Sunnyside can't 4x4 their way out of living in low-lying areas!

Looks fine now, and we didn't get any flooding at our place. The city has their big mobile command post set up a few doors down (right across the street from your old place, fotze), and the sidewalk is full of people standing around, looking at it. I suspect my dog spent most of the day sitting in the front window, freaking out at everything that was going on.

I live on 1st Ave between 6th and 7th street in the basement suite. I came home as soon as I found out it was area that had the flooding and luckily my place is ok. The power was just shut off. I assume this command post you're referring to is the ton of cops at Sunnyside school?

There's still a bunch of firetrucks and enmax trucks at the end of my block. I guess the end house got it pretty bad

Anyone have any info on which 24 Sunnyside homes were hit the hardest by this flood?
I'm looking at buying a house in this area one day.
