Sorry, Tead.... I don't watch much of the real news anymore... And been awhile since I even heard the words, 'flood stage'. You guys got hella hammered.... About 10 years back I was watching the crest levels at Cape Girardeau, MO. I was living in a little Town in southern Ill called Mc Clurie I'll. Matter a fact,, the year I met Miss J,, we met over a card game on the net,,, hey if you want to find a pinochle game,, it's either the net, the old folks home, or prison to play. Well, anyways we played for acouple years first before we ever met.. Long story,, so,, anyways, the years she came to vist, I knew this real cool little place to drive down on the river,, even with a 2 wheel drive, even was a boat launch. I was alittle buzzed, jumped off the road,, and sped alittle over the crest to start down the hill''', wasn't a hill,,, just water...... Lucky I locked em up and all was good.. But later I watched the water creep up to floorboards in my old house. It was funny,, we got nailed by a tornado that touched down afew miles away.. Well the sirens started blasting in the town, Miss J is born and raised here in Portland,, well Troutdale and Gresham all her life,,, here's she visiting and I tell her whats going on,,, she wants to go take a look for it. It's acouple miles away,, all I can say is if my trailer pops apart,,, go jump in the ditch out front.. That was a bad year. My last year there was the worst ice storm seen in that area. Trees snapping sound like 30/06's cracking. Telephone pole do break under the weight of ice on the lines... They shatter loud as fuck...
Babbling.. But stay dry man... I know,, or least hope ya'll are drying out. Could be worse,,,, you could own ocean front property in Miami Beach... They are never going to dry out. They can put them houses up on piers and buy another 5-6 years... But it wood be fun,,, catch snook on the back porch? Keepem Green
