The first photo shows where Swyft is staging cable and equipment, for when the official transaction takes place and they move into the facility.

The second photo shows the “lean to“ buildings that are attached on the west side, that currently leak, and will soon be removed.

This morning‘s thunderstorm may have moved out of the area, to some extent, but it left trees down all across Drew County, blocking roads.  Drew County sheriffs deputies are responding to reports of trees down, like this one is totally Blocking Pumpkin Center, Road, southwest of Monticello.  State, county, and city workers are responding to all reports, doing what they can to clear the roadways, or at least marked them with cones, due to flooding

It also left several roads underwater, with levels rising.  Hwy 278, near Dead Man’s Curve, McCloy St. and Gaines St. are underwater, as well as many other areas, such as the Creekwood area, shown in this photo.
