Nothing here. It tried to storm last night... while I was transferring the guts of a fuel tank.

we sure could use a little rain here. ok not really I'm just glad it's not us for a change. hadn't had rain here in 3 weeks until the last day or two..

I know how you guys are feeling though we have our share of deluges.

BTW I do have a nice 15 foot speed boat I'd swap for the F3. LOL

Shit's been crazy here. The I-85 / 285 connector was closed during AM rush hour yesterday morning - it was under 4-5' of water. Portions of I-20 West were closed as well and I heard they are closed again today. Traffic has been chaotic. Lots of school districts are closed today. Several neighborhoods under water, many busy roads under water, bridges under water, pieces of roads washed away, sink holes, mud slides, gigantic trees falling all over everything, etc.

Good thing is Lake Lanier is almost to full pool now - just 4' under in the measurement yesterday (up from the 20' or so last year) and they expect it to go up another 1-2' by the end of all of this rain.

Wasn't Georgia having one of the worst droughts in their history just reciently?

I remember something about the drinking water supply being close enough to exhausted for people to start worrying early in the year.

Yes - Lake Lanier (a source of drinking water for the metro) was down about 20' or so below full pool last year. It's been a slow process for it to come back up but this year has been great as far as rain - pretty much normal rain patterns. The lake is just a few feet under full pool now.

Saw some video on GMA this morning of Six Flags...looked terrible. One of the roller coasters was partially submerged in water.

That sucks. And you can't even prepare for that like we could in Fargo this spring. Just boom, it's raining, and you are flooding. Damn.

We were and on top of that shitville and Florida were forcing us to to drain our lake to save some fucking mussles and fish (actually it was to save the farmers). I wish that yesterday morning our governer said "Well shitville/Florida. You want our water well here you go fuckers" and jsut released the dams like they wanted us too and wash their fucking fish into the Gulf of Mexico along with Panama City beach.

I'm hoping the waters go down because I'm camping in the mountains this weekend and our campsite is in a 100year flood plain and there have been places in a 500year flood plain to get flooded out.
