Filmed on Saturday, June 7, 2008.

After storming like hell on Friday night, Brown County, as well as many other counties in the southern part of Indiana, were placed under a state of emergency due to immense flooding. A few dams broke, and the entire city of Columbus [large compared to Nashville] is still locked down.

I managed to get out of my grandmother's house and get to McDonald's, thanks to a helpful and friendly manager. She picked me up and took me to work, so I could chill out and finally have WiFi.

At about 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, the flooding at my grandmother's had receded, and my parents were able to leave. After taking a completely inconceivable route to get back home, we managed to do so, and our power was back on. The flooding that kept us from getting home via the two regular routes we'd previously taken had also gone down on Sunday morning.

Backstory:
Our power went out at 3:30 a.m. on Saturday morning, due to the storms, and I was awakened at 10 a.m. that morning, and we went to my Nana's to have air conditioning and food.

While bored to tears, I started capping some basketball footage, when I nodded off for about an hour. When I woke up, I saw how high the creek had risen outside, grabbed my camera, and started filming.

That explains the yawning and drowsiness at the beginning of the video.

Keep praying for those whose houses were swept away by the flooding. They need it right now.
