So, the flood waters stopped 15 feet from my house.

We were really sweating it out here (Pgh area) but luckier than many. Some people are still waiting on rooftops, bridges, roadways,etc. to be rescued. School buses could not get children home today because so many roads were flooded out. Many mandatory evacuations, many people in shelters.

Ivan continues to take it's heavy toll.

I think WV and MD are getting hit pretty bad right now, too.

5. Thanks.

We set the all-time record for rainfall in a single day, 6 inches now and still raining.

And this is just what's left of the storm! I can't imagine what it's like for people who took the brunt of it.

My neighbor's house got flooded. I consider us to be lucky.
