Thread: Storm update

Best wishes

I feel your pain Mr. Ray, a long recovery process for sure.

My thoughts are with you fellas.

Ray, we're lucky that we are on the side of a slope here and the rain just rolled down the road to the lake. I've had four calls from folks in York co. and N. Myrtle that were worried about us because they did not really know how bad is was down here until this morning. I've been sitting here for three days watching WIS and I am amazed by the damage that I have seen. If you need what used to be a strong back and still a pretty weak mind to help you out in any way, shoot me a pm, I'm only 10 minutes away.

I was wondering about e old mill I saw where the dam had broke on tv was there much damage to the restaurant and other business there
hope all stays well at your place and like Thumper if you need me for anything just give me a call.

I really felt bad when I heard about the Old Mill pond. I knew some of those homes were not going to make it. I feel sorry for all the families who have lost just about everything if not everything. I have them in my prayers.

Our pond was spared but now we took out boards before hand. We took out 3 boards well before the storm hit, 1 on Thursday and 2 Friday morning. What I don't understand is the pond above ours a family that lives right beside it asked the people who live on that pond to please lower their pond. Which this same family has had their yard/house flooded by this same pond twice already along with another house across the street. Well I was told the response she got was they didn't like how the pond looks when it is lowered. Why do people have to be like this all they had to do was lower it and when everything had passed through let the pond back up. That's our plan of what were doing. I've also heard that the creek that our pond feeds to has been dammed up down stream. Which may explain why the water was about to or did over the night go over the road. I'm sure though if something broke I would have gotten blamed for it even though we had done I believe everything we could have done. I just thought something of this size to hit us that people would work together boy I was wrong. I'm sorry had to let it off my chest. I just don't understand people sometimes and now I'm now done.

Let it out brother. I sometimes wonder what happened to all of the common sense and courtesy that used to be in this country.......maybe I'm just getting old.......

I just read a Facebook post from Creekside Restaurant and they think they will be back in business by end of week. Right now we have 39 roads closed in Lexington County.
