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. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/trailgator01 - last.fm |

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! ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

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. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

It was higher last night, but I couldn't take pictures cause of the dark so heres 12 hours later and its still a pretty decent depth. Also some spots are deeper than others. |

| Crazyness. Man a flood is one thing I never want to deal with when I own a home. I just cant imagine knee/ waist deep water in any room being easy to deal with. The amount of damage, etc |

The parking lot at my old HS was more treacherous than that. All dirt and rutted from the "rednecks" with their monster Chevy's.... After a day of good rain it there would be spots where my 33" tires would almost be completely under water. I'm surprised that nobody ever hydrolocked their engine.

A few years back there was a flood in my neck of the woods. I wish I had saved the pictures - there was one of me and 2 of my neighbors sitting at a picnic table in his backyard, up to our necks in water. -------------
