We were also busy talking to police departments, public works personnel, schools and other government officials to get the latest news for you. As a result we were not able to take as many pictures as we wanted to share.
We have published what we took ourselves, got from readers or were shared on our Facebook Page. If you have any you want others to see, please add them to this story.
During the storm and floods we were also sending out tweets and posting news on Facebook. It is another great way to keep up with the news through Patch. If you do not follow us yet on Twitter or like us on Facebook, follow the links at the bottom of this story to connect.
