the military choppered in a bunch of pumps. this pump station was built in the '20's (with upgrades over the yrs)
there is 4 massive pumps in there, they have never run all 4 at once, and never at full bore, for 7 days they were all going full blast and they we worried about one pump going down, it would have allowed the river to start backflowing in again. at the peak it was pumping over 650 000 gpm
authorities kicked all boats out of the flood area except for emergency personal. you got yahoos like this guy making waves compounding damage to people houses and property's
about the only damage no one regrets is this little turnaround on the highway...this is where 5-0 usually sits.  |
DD142, thanks for the pictorial tour. That amount of damage is literally nearly unbelievable.
