Major highway opens in Gilchrist County(west of Gainesville) after 77 days under water!

Several more roads still under water. May take another month for the flood waters to receede.

Not exactly sure of the rainfall totals but I think this area got about 30 or more inches in two months.

North Fla went through an extended dry spell from 98 to O3, and some folks, forgot about the old 100 year flood plain maps and built in areas that they thought were high and dry only to find out how wrong they were this September.

Here in TX one has to get permission to build in the 100 yr. flood plain. Is that not the case in FL?

We were driving through Santa Rosa and Escambia counties in FL this weekend and there are still HUGE piles of debris from Ivan. The severe weather we've had in the past week has not helped much. An article in Sunday's paper relayed a story of a family who went to Home Depot to buy shingles for their Ivan-damaged roof and came home to find their home had been destroyed by a tornado.
