Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | I've been watching the news on the internet and the Hartford station has a slideshow with pictures of the old Moosup plant. The water is even deeper than it got in '78 when I was working there. That time we all had to move our cars from the parking lot across the street. Later that day we had to move them again. There were HUGE chunks of pavement floating down the road that was now under water. This time it looks like there is water on the first floor of the plant. There is also a picture of my old house in Central Village with the water lapping at the first floor. I hope all of you folks on the east coast are high and dry, and staying safe! |

Yes, there were chunks of pavement as big as a dinner table being tumbled downstream. Absolutely! I was Pastor of a church in Elizabethton, TN in 1998...The Doe River Flooded and 8 people died...three were members of my church...the flood waters ripped the pavement from the school bus parking lot and pushed it down river where it lodged along with a school bus under the Rt. 19 bridge..took three weeks to remove the bus...water has tremendous force when it is moving fast... |

Location: nashville | Not only will pavemnet float, so will a 1999 Dodge mini-vain if you drive it off in enough water, but that's another story.
Elizabethton is a very pretty place, I have a good account there and alwasy enjoy the view and the little river at the end of town. |
