Flood pictures

Here are pictures taken from the street leading to the new houses and from end of the local park, the water was still up a good 5 ft near the park and that was a week after the worse of the rains. Thankfully there has been a 5 mile dam erected here for the past 10 years as it is directly in line with a flood plain, this wasn't enough to save the newest houses however; locals couldn't believe it when they were given permission to build there. By the way these are luxery houses worth from 400-700k a lot of money in these parts! And all of them are occupied. I have heard that the water never actually got into the houses themselves but still a very bad time for all involved.
