The Smith Senior Recreation Center at 2401 Fairview St. is currently closed due to flooding. There has been a recreation center of one form or another at that location for well over 50 years and I don't think I have ever before heard of it being flooded.
The ground is completely saturated and cannot soak up any more water. I have a sump pump running in my own back yard pumping water onto the street. The weather reports are calling for 7 more days of rain. Don't be a moron. Water covering Greensboro streets equals flash flooding, your car is not a speed boat. Drive into water deeper than you can see the bottom and you deserve to die.
And anyone who dares to paddle any of the areas rivers under current conditions has a death wish. I hope I just sold my canoe to someone bright enough to know better.
