Any more reports of whether it's expected to flood? Talked to some troopers earlier who said they expected a little water to come into downtown.

Greetings all - I'm asking anyone with photos, video clips and stories to share to help me with a multimedia project to help those still struggling with unmet needs following the devasting floods of December 3 last year. Long after the news attack helicopters have roared off to the Next Big Thing people continue to live with their homes in ruin and lives turned upside down.
