OMG IT's A FLOOD


haha never have i ever seen a flood occur in my neighbourhood. well first time for everything. Started off with a nice massive hailstorm tragically it was mostly over by the time i got my camera. Few minutes later looking out from my room I noticed a river flowing past my house and that got me wandering outside. Sigh so much for the umbrella, only my head stayed dry. My pants and shirt got soaked soon enough and so i decided to wander around some more. AT this point some guy was yelling at me from his car, but the rain was too loud so i couldn't hear him. ANyways went about taking pictures and extremely crappy movies with my camera.

Just as i was headed back to my house i noticed that there was a number of cars piling up, just down the road so i headed over to see what it was, and the guy was yelling at me from the car, now waves me over and tells me to look at the sideroad... OMFG... IT WAS FLOODED... and 2 cars were stalled and dead. At the exact same moment some smart alec driver thought he could drive through the flood and started to turn in. Well thank god i had my camera recording it as a movie, gonna have fun showing that my sister... as the car drives in and DIES in the middle of the road. HAHAHA

Anyways yeah. I ended wandering into the road myself just to see how deep it was and how bad it was. stupid pants wouldn't stay hiked up so i'm now dragging heavy wet pants (their fleece) around. Anyways this is what i saw. Asides for the 3 stalled cars I noticed a house on the corner right next to the flood, with its owner bailing out water... sigh people down there are so unlucky today, from the looks of it some of the houses were flooded. After that walked into the flood and it went way past my knees. I estimate it to be more then 2 feets at the deepest part.

Anyways heres a nice photo to demonstrate how stupid some people could be, but the other cars got it worse.

anyways now that i'm all dried up and the rain is not raining as hard now, maybe i should head out and see if the road is still flooded. Oh yeah Thankfulyl my house is on the middle of a hill so my house is nice and dry.
