I spent some of the early part of tonight looking through some news sites checking out pictures and videos.

Some of the most incredible were of houses, businesses, and the yacht club on fire. Fire apparatus can't get to any of these places with the flooding, so they are just left to burn.

I can't find the picture anymore, because I guess the TV station redid their slide shows, but I saw one that was particularly interesting ... a pawn shop that was apparently on high ground that missed getting flooded was on fire. I found myself wondering if the owner had been counting on the floods to take care of some of his financial problems and when he remained dry, arranged for a little accident.
