I live in Richmond!!
Yeah the damage was incredible. There's one part of town that's inbetween two hills, called Shockoe Bottom, and the flooding was massive there. 5 people drowned. Cars and trucks and tractor trailors floating down the street, etc. After the storm there was a huge mudpile filling up a parking lot and burying cars. go to
