So its around 12:30 am here and its been raining since 9:00pm and the road outside my house is flowing like a river at 1-1.5 ft. I know you guys have been through worse, but its unusual where I live.

anyways I hope it stops soon.



Pictures are 12 hours later.

Last time streets around here flooded, I watched all the local 'redneck' kids drag all sorts of crap behind their trucks in an attempt to create a new sport... Couches with people on it, wake boards, ect.

I, for one, am looking forward to the storm coming up the Atlantic coast. Should dump a good amount of snow on the slopes around here. Timberline, here I come!

It is actually a physical impossibility for my house (or my street for that matter) to flood due to the fact that my house sits on top of a hill.
If it's not my problem I'm making it my problem

Yeah? Well my house has two chimneys!

The forced proper structure and tone in that sentence is a bit ironic considering it's content. Seriously I keep having to read it again in case there actually is a point to it.

The sig is ironic in a way.
"Abortion is not "choice" in America. It is forced and the democrats are behind it, with the goal of eugenics at its foundation."

-FreeEnterprise, 21 April 2011.

Yup, he actually said that.

Heh.... that's what you think.... Hope you still have flood insurance because there are PLENTY of ways that a flood can affect you on a hill.

Truth. My house is on top of a hill, but that doesn't mean the nearby drainage ditches, creeks, and low spots don't flood.

edit- Basements, too.
