Good morning all, the coffee is on and I'm back in NY. I spent the past few days right after the Quad State Herf was over in Detroit, MI. I was initially sent out there by the Army to evaluate a scheduled "Active Shooter Exercise" but that changed drastically as the entire Detroit - Warren County area became a flood zone. Major highways are still closed down as we speak and hundreds of cars are stranded / water logged all over the place. We were in Buddy's Restaurant and as we were enjoying our pizza, the flooding came very quick. Within minutes, we were standing in a foot and a half of water in the pizzeria and had to be rescued by the local FD with small boats and such to higher ground. Right outside of the establishment, there was a a 30 year old lady having major problems. We found out later that she didn't make it: Good morning all, the coffee is on and I'm back in NY.

So the "Exercise" turned into a real world situation and we ended up helping out the Detroit Arsenal as they had major problems as well and evaluated their response and recovery actions. Got home late last night and off to work shortly. Hope everyone has a good day and enjoys.......
