The Calm After The Storm?






Last weekend we experienced one heck of a storm on the Eastern Shore. Above is just some of the damage caused by the heavy winds. It's also clear why many of the roads became flooded. When you have the volume of storm water hitting an area so quickly, litter and even door mats covered storm drains blocking the expected normal flow of water into the sewer system and sadly, directly into the river. I guess you could day without the grates on the streets filtering some of the floatables the River could have looked worse than it did?

joe, not sure if your are aware of the storm drain problem in salisbury, but I have picks from friday night, I happen to live on smith street, and the water was neer 3 ft. deep in fron of my house, and would have floated my car away if I did not move it, it has been a problem for years, and the city has still not returned calls,

Well Joe, I would think that if you found this ass---- and knocked his lights out, there would be no one that could blame you. Were it me I would knock his head off and sh$t down his neck. But thats just me

11:27 AM - That statement left you with absolutely no credibility what so ever. You don't use children to get to an adult. That is lower than low. You just proved you you are wrong and can't get to Joe any other way so you use a child. I don't know you or really know what is going on between the two of you but after that statement I wouldn't believe a word you ever spoke. I think you just hung yourself.

Can you believe the limb on Waller road survived that wind?

WTF?! - Why please, does an issue that affects all we citizens some how turn into a vulgar personal attack?! .... I am/was under the impression that all comments are to be approved before being posted.

The ISSUE is City & County DPW maintenance & upkeep of drainage systems .... After 6 weeks of street closure to install a new catch basin on my residential st. @ 8 PM Fri. my street was barely passable .... a drainage canal is aprox. 120' from the road - does anyone check to see if the outflow pipe is clear & free from obstructions, trash, leaves, overgrowth, etc. ?
