There are more and better free images that could be used…

There are more free images from the summaries that the NWS offices in Charleston and Blacksburg did about the flooding that fully describe the extent of the flooding. I think those images should at least be uploaded to commons. Or possibly even be used for this article somewhere.

(I would do it myself, but as evidenced by the IP address showing up, I am an unregistered user and can’t upload) 2601:5C5:4201:68B0:5505:764F:EC61:59F2 (talk) 19:34, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
