Thread: Good Day to be a Duck!

    Default Good Day to be a Duck!

    Holly cow you would think no one has ever had to drive in the rain before!

    Made for an interesting drive to work this morning flooded streets, roads closed, and even saw a Camaro on its roof!

    It's a real turd floater. My pool is overflowing. Wonder how the old neighborhood is doing.

    I agree that a couple of people driving 10 to 15 minles below the posted speed limit (45) and backing up everyone else is very annoying. And they seem to congregate so they block the road.

    I love my Jeep. I can drive in the flooded parts of the street that everyone else avoids. Just like jumping in puddles as a kid, just on a much larger scale.

    I guess the worst is missing my neck of the woods. My back yard isn't even flooded yet...

    I only got one drop of rain on my pants. I feel that's an acceptable rate for 40 minutes of hard rain driving.

    Those pics are so cool! You should post them on your facebook page for non-texas friends to see what a flash flood is. Glad your car is ok. I assume the other two cars in the first picture were moved to higher ground.


    PS Wonder if the mail stays dry?

    Is that a Prius? I thought DC current worked under water.

    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    Wow. I'd hate to have one of the hosues on the other side of that street. They're probably wishing they had flood insurance about now.
    If you're addicted to cold turkey how do you stop?

    I reject your reality and substitute my own.

    Your yard can't hold a candle to the pond that I can now call my yard.

    We got to watch a high-water rescue from the 14th floor of our office building. Eastbound entrance ramp to LBJ 635 at the North Dallas Tollway. Water was up to the windshield. Sorry, no pics.

    She won't go outside till it dries out... it's like she's got a holding tank from a Winnebago somewhere in that delicate little body.

    Shouldn't that have the same result as throwing a toaster in the bathtub?

    Stupid water. One of the giant puddles I had to drive through on the way to work today ripped an exhaust shroud off the back of the car.
