Most of the trees lost large limbs or half of the tree broken. Some were uprooted, but not as many as the damaged.

I never mentioned underwater. Locals used terminology of dry prairie, prairie (maybe few inches of water) and wet prairie that holds bodies of water more than 12” deep, great for racing airboats.
Apparently local kids play toys were homemade airboats.

Two of the guys grandparents sold their property south of the turnpike to developers, so my guess is native locals account could be more accurate than map on the net.
But I am just listening to accounts, an elder @80+ years old, his son 60, and grandson 35, born and raised on the land. They had to trailer their boats to wet land north of turnpike.
The third last week said their neighbor sold their cattle farm earlier in the year, that has been in their family over 100 years. So guess is their farm could be next.
