Video of my street today during heavy heavy rains!

[sasscuba]

Street was impassable due to very heavy rains and 70 mile an hour winds this morning. This is a video of a flatbed tow truck that decided to go down my street when all others turned around and went another way. He created a wave and if you watch the left side of the screen you will see a purple firebird that gets hit with a wave and actually floats the car off the ground. It moved the car 2 feet and I talked with my neighbor and she showed me the inside of the car and it was completely wet up to the dash and still has 4 inches of water in the floors. We have been without power now for 4 hours and am running on the generator.

Don't 'cha just love these truck driving idiots.

Your adventure Sas reminds me of my experience in Hurricane Allen, August 1980 in Kingsville, TX. Immediately after the eye passed over Kingsville, the rain wall on the backside of the hurricane caused it to rain so hard the streetlight across the street from my house looked like it was in a fog.

After several hours of the downpour, the rain was starting to let up. I was sitting in my front door, no power, watching the water advance up my walk. It stopped at about the bottom of the doorjam.

Whew. That was close. Then I hear a truck. An Army 4x4 flatbed bed roars down the middle of the street and a three foot wave comes curling toward my door. I slammed the door and braced against it but the water poured into the house anyway around the frame.

I was pissed and was going to file a claim, then the ceiling collapsed in the back half of my house flooding the rest of the place. Because it was night I did not realize that a lot of the roof shingles had been blown off the back of the house and water had been puddling in the attic during the downpour. When it reach the breaking point, it did.

Ahhhh, memories.

I provided a dvd to the owner of the car to see if they will fix the flood damage.
