At 5:15 a.m. on December 31, 2005, I watched the last patch of pavement of our cul-de-sac, Fife Court, become submerged.

By 6 a.m. our neighbor, Don, who has lived on this street for a decade, knocked on the door suggesting we move our cars up on to Armstrong Woods Road, which was still well above the water.

Here are a few pictures; if you click on any of them you can see a larger image.
