I don't recall so much as a statement issued by them. <BR/><BR/>That should tell you what they really think of the people of Indiana. <BR/><BR/>But then, it is not an election year for Senators is it? If it was, they would be everywhere. That probably explains why the Governor is out and about. <BR/><BR/>They should be ashamed.M Theoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01892309818226431745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-32901867915828885432008-06-15T22:24:00.000-05:002008-06-15T22:24:00.000-05:00Wanted to Add my Compulsory Slam Against the Star:...Wanted to Add my Compulsory Slam Against the Star:<BR/><BR/>If they would check their own archives of a couple weeks ago,<BR/><BR/>"...including a 122-year-old covered bridge in Rush County."<BR/><BR/>That bridge was in Moscow, and was turned over in a tornado and not due to flooding. Then again it doesn't seem to matter it's gone and likely cost prohibitive for a small town or the township to replace.Sir Hailstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301073859882785758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-75758666351163066372008-06-15T17:58:00.000-05:002008-06-15T17:58:00.000-05:00I rode through Martinsville today and east of SR 3...I rode through Martinsville today and east of SR 37 the damage is really something.<BR/><BR/>All of the auto dealerships sustained flood damage. John Walton Ford (formerly Larry Bird Ford) had yellow "crime scene" tape around most of their vehicles. I assume that is cordoning off the ones written off to insurance companies as "flood damaged". A recently re-opened from remodeling Dairy Queen is closed due to flooding. A Circle K is closed. Several apartment complexes were flooded out. One looked like there was more in the courtyard piled up than there were actually inside the apartments. Sure looks like the makings of one huge bonfire. The median of SR37 has debris all though Martinsville.<BR/><BR/>Southbound SR37 just north of Martinsville is one lane only because the roadbed is washed out. A huge field west of SR37 is just sand and silt.Sir Hailstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301073859882785758noreply@blogger.com
