Houston, you has a problem....

The water is finally receding a bit but there's a pretty good chance we have more rain coming

 

[roxynoodle]

Didn't see a link on VU for the critical deeming vote in support of Representative Cole's amendment in the aproproations committee tomorrow to leave the date alone. Go to ECF to find your rep to call or email.

I posted it. It's in Advocacy.

THANK you, Roxy! Yep, gotta make those calls when we can. Michigan doesn't have a representative on that committee. If your state does, PLEASE let em know how you feel!

I first put it in General Discussion, but it got moved. I expected it would, but I was hoping more would see it.

Nevermind, got it

It was more than waist deep where he started from. That whole SUV became submerged.

I'm reasonably confident the vehicle in question was a second-generation Honda Insight, which is only about 4'8" tall and it was not quite 100% submerged at the end -- an inch or two of the roof was still visible. So the water was more than waist deep, but a full-grown man could indeed have stood up in it -- and the "authority figure" on the spot (the reported) told him to swim.

But that's not the point. Only a stupid person drives a car into water of unknown depth.

we have a few dips that go under an over-pass. Pretty much any main thoroughfare out of the city has one. The wall next to it is marked with a depth gauge; because, an average afternoon shower can turn them into 6-8 ft depth, in no time.
My neighbor when I was growing up, drove his porsche into one; and, had to take the hard top off to swim out.
He still has said Porsche; but 20 years later it is still have electrical problems from, "the great flood of may 8th, 1996"

the neighbor is much more booksmart than common sense.

So by about 11am, seemed like the whole day was going to Hell. Figured, why fight it? How do you get there? Well ya follow the signs, of course. Thought I had found a shortcut. Great fun,but it was a dead end..

Accidentally turned on Church, and while it took me in the right direction, it just made the trip a lil longer. (that's actually true, I did turn on Church.)

Eventually, I got there.

I was perfectly comfortable. I was there just a few weeks ago, and if it's full of bikers, I'm going! It's a party.

A creek runs along my road. It flooded in August of 98. We watched one driver after another go into the deep water on the road and get stuck. Just kept pulling them out one after another with a chain and a tractor.

Well...I have to check in here if I want someone to talk to! There's no one over there in the evenings especially after chatting all day while I'm at work with no access.
I had a pretty good day! Not bad for a Monday after very little sleep the night before. My insomnia decided to make a return visit last night damn him!

Daytona Beach, 75th anniversary this year. That town was ROCKIN wif scoots! Had to get my Cole Slaw fix..
NAW, I can't post pics of my LOCAL event. That's the Fowlerville Easy Riders Rodeo. Make a longshoreman blush!

Gnite Atcha!

Ack! Didn't see ya leaving Sister Onyx! Gnite and sweet dreams to ya bof!

 

[haleysdadda]

So it seems I may have passed through the tampon era somewhat unscathed.
And now it appears I am passing through the various fronts of the weather wars.

I live in San Diego.

Yeah, I just won.
HA!!!

Where at DC? I'm out chere in Santuckey!

 

[JuicyLucy]

Sorry to hear about my fellow refugees getting flooded or just life made harder because of it.

Been flooded out myself and it is no fun at all.

 

[WharfRat1976]

I drove from HTown to Austin left at 2:30pm. 71 in LaGrange was CLOSED earlier. They reopened with one lane going both ways....slowly. did it in 3 hours not too bad. It's usually 2 and a half. Houston roadways a disaster. Many cars submerged in roadways and under bridges with as little as a 5 foot dip....very scary.

So 2 or 3, 100 year floods in 3 years. I think they called this one a 500 year flood with 15 inches down in a 24 hour period.

OMG. Poor Texas, you guys have been getting some INSANE weather the past few years. Sucks to lose material shit, but as long as you're safe, you can live without all that junk. Had soot from a malfunctioned water heater coat everything in the house a few years back. For every 1 thing I lost that I cherished, there was 100 that I shoulda got rid of years ago. Insurance had to pay for anything too contaminated or not worth cleaning, which was a LOT. It was like the worlds biggest yard sale. The ONLY room in the house that didn't get touched, was the wine cellar. Has it's own HVAC system, totally sealed from the rest of the house. THAT was a blessing. Agent said I'd need a rider for them to cover it. WHEW! So I can't watch 3d movies again yet, but I can get drunk.

Daytona is a blast!!
Looking forward to our local 911 ride this year. Last year, we had nearly 12,000 bikes! The ride is a 37 mile loop. The end of it is just leaving the fire hall when the beginning comes rolling back in!

Aaaaaaaaand it's raining again. This city is doomed.

Those big rides are SO fun. So many nice people to meet too! I've done quite a few of the Patriot rides for fallen soldiers. REALLY cool to watch the way the pro's handle the traffic situations and intersections. I don't do informal group rides much anymore. Seen too many leads that haven't got a clue, and put a lot of riders in jeopardy. Stupid stuffs, like passing and then slowing down way too soon, stranding people in the passing lane with nowhere to go. Fuck that!

Aaaaaaaaand it's raining again. This city is doomed.

Last nite was 15" rain, hail, flooding, lightning strikes, and a twisted touching down.

Tonite the zecadas have all come out.

Tomorrow, I'm painting my doorway with lambs blood.

Damn, LONG time ago. I was just discovering his music when it happened! Was right after my divorce. So prolly '90? My roommate played lead guitar in a local band. I had never heard of SRV, or Satriani. Those were eye openers for me.

Both mind blowing talents. Imagine if Satriani had/has that "feel" like Stevie did. He just had such a special vibe.... now I'm sad again lol
