I was looking at one family that didn't seem too distressed, sitting on their wicker furniture on their front porch and waiting for a boat. Then I read the caption that said the porch was on the second floor and the water was still rising.

This is really, really bad.

It's still raining though and those puddles are growing bigger and getting deeper.
