Flood a small town and suddenly everyone wants to see what's happening; or how Phil Zimmerly lost his 15 minutes of fame

Phil Zimmerly lost his 15 minutes of fame to a swollen Riley Creek

Flood a small town and suddenly everyone wants to see what's happening. The Feb. 28 flood set one-day viewing records for The Icon.

While The Icon has averaged between 500 to 600 viewers per day on Feb. 28 The Icon had 3,472 individual viewers. That topped the previous record when a deer walked into a downtown Bluffton bar.

On Nov. 6, 2010, The Icon had 1,477 viewers watch the deer crash through Luke's Bar and Grill window. We thought that was impressive.
