Crap Throwing Monkey Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Wow, sounds like you are getting some of our rain that we usually get. 714447[/snapback] It's nuts. We just got another inch and a half in the past half hour. The backyard's cresting at two feet above flood stage... We've got a storm drain in the backyard...and a chain link fence with two feet of debris stacked up behind it, so none of the water can get to the storm drain. The water's just coasting along the fence until it hits the front yard, then washing into the street. This is getting faintly ridiculous. All my wife's real estate closings for the week were cancelled because the condo had its bottom TWO floors flooded out. The DC Beltway was closed by a mud slide this morning. What, am I in California suddenly or something? I didn't even know we could get mud slides in DC.
Pete Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Thanks, I appreciate it! I have a standing invitation to vacation up there with him and his lady, but I have yet to take him up on it. He loves it up there, though. 714465[/snapback] I went to college in New Hampshire and loved it! One of the most beautiful states I have ever been. Its great any time of year

So I hopped on the marta and went to the midtown stop, exited and walked to a bar called ''vortex'' got stuck there, till my liver was drenched in whiskey and beer, great jukebox btw. Made it back to my flight just in time, and flew away wasted

Acantha Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 I didn't even know we could get mud slides in DC. 714494[/snapback] Where's the mud coming from? Front Royal?
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Where's the mud coming from? Front Royal? 714539[/snapback] Right now, it seems to be all in my back yard. Home ownership is fun!
EC-Bills Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Is it hot enough yet for Lana to need to go topless? Hey, I'm just asking... Here in DC, we've had about 12 inches of rain in 36 hours. A flash flood tore through the yard last night...the house is fine, the landscaping is absolutely wrecked. Worst it's been in at least 30 years...through the simple and obvious fact that the water took down a 30-year old fence. It's nuts. All things being equal, I'd rather be in bed with my wife than put up with this crap... ...wait a minute, my wife's in bed right now. Be right back... 714443[/snapback] Ah that's nothing. Try groing up in Florida and riding out some hurricanes Seriously, that is some major rainage. Redoing the landscaping is going to suck big time.

Wacka Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Ugh, I think I'm melting. It really got to 103? Crazy! It's too early for this type of weather! I just got back today from San Francisco where it was 80 degrees during the day and it would get to about 65 at night. Perfect! Is it supposed to cool down? 714437[/snapback] If you wanted hot weather, you should have come inland. I'm about 25 miles east of SF and it has been 97-103 all week with lows about 70. This is normal for this time of year. I was south of SF on the peninsula (just south of the airport) yesterday and it was 78 there. One time it was 55 at the SF Zoo (by the ocean) and it was 105 at my place 25-30 miles away!
kegtapr Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Hey guess what everybody....June in western NY was beautiful.

The staff has an attitude, but that's all part of the marketing.
drnykterstein Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 uhm... "Record Highs" in June after tons of record highs were set last year. anyone else watch the Al Gore movie? sure sounds like global warming to me.

It was 102 there and when got back to SF it was like in the 60s. Crazy... Hey, I was at the SFO airport yesterday.

"Record Highs" in June after tons of record highs were set last year. anyone else watch the Al Gore movie? sure sounds like global warming to me. 714684[/snapback] In the SF bay area, it was cold this spring (until about 3 weeks ago) and actually rained in June(it always stops in April). Sounds like global cooling to me. The temps we are getting here in CA are right at the normal levels for this time of year. it might actually get "cold" this week (mid 80s).
Lurker Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 But that's Seattle...we are talking about Oregon. 714470[/snapback] Seattle's 175 miles NORTH of Portland, OR...
