Tropical Storm Flooding

Details:

Tropical Storm Debby caused widespread flooding across much of the southeastern US August 5-9. These photos were taken roughly a week later as flood waters continued to recede. 

Conclusion:

When safe, evaluate any flood damage and adjust management decisions accordingly. Unfortunately, in most cases there is nothing that can be done to prevent flooding or to manage flood waters.
