Hi all, If you are on my Facebook list you already know about out major flooding that occurred here today. I work at the University of Louisville and our campus as well as Historic Churchill Downs is underwater from 6" inches of rain that fell this morning in about an 1 hour time period that overwelmed the sewer system. The flooding was severe, the Main branch of the Library in Downtown Louisville lost thousands of books. On UofL Campus, Fire Department had to rescue people by Boat as one building was totally cut off by the high waters.
Pictures of the flooding can been seen on almost all major news networks. The follow link has a picture of my parking area on campus, My brand new car is in picture #5 at the very bottom of the picture. This picture was taken after about 1 ft of water had receded. At the highest point, it was up to the lower edge of the door frame. My office building on campus flooded, but was relatively minor compared to what I heard about other buildings on campus.

My aunt and uncle are in Louisville on business and my aunt called yesterday saying how awful it was. The power was out, she was calling from her very dark hotel room. She said the rain was torrential.
