[QUOTE="dean nelson, post: 169013, member: 1305"] Remember the first day they people were let back in and helped my sister get her stuff out of delta Gama and had not been in there before. We were the first ones back and I remember looking over the railing trying to figure out why they had such a deep basement as the stairway kept going down two levels and then I suddenly realized I was looking at the reflection of the stairwell above me and if the entire lower level is completely flooded. It was really eerie sitting on the corner of Columbia and University as a stoplight slowly flashed and there was no traffic anywhere not a car to be seen other then the odd ones drifted up into the yards where they had floated to. The silence those couple hours was just eerie with no cars no birds nothing just the clicking of the stoplight. After a couple hours more people started coming into town and it was weird to see it go from a ghost town with no tracks in the river mud that was drying out everywhere to cars rolling by nearly nonstop in an ungodly dust cloud. The day of the flood was probably the creepiest I've ever heard the tornado sirens sound. [/QUOTE]
