++UPDATE++
My grandparents have a house in Westbrookville, New York that the whole family uses for vacation purposes. The house is on a mountain, and the road it's on has a small brook that runs alongside it. This small brook rose twenty feet two weeks ago due to heavy, heavy rains; the last time that happened was 1953. Luckily, the house was untouched, but the people down the road weren't so lucky. I took some pictures of the damage, and played around with them in photoshop, so none of them are in their pure photo form.
I feel bad for all of those touched by the flood, but it provided some great photo-ops.
