Flooding in Florida and the Carolinas , imagine that...

[Beachnutt]

sad

[DrToast]

1. I hope DeSantis budgeted for that

[cwydro]

3. Not sure what your post is supposed to mean?

We’ve had a lot of rain in NC. Not unusual really.

[Beachnutt]

4. Hurricanes, tropical storms coming thru the gulf...

[cwydro]

5. Okaaay.

Missing your point, I guess.

Is this a Falwell-type post saying stricken states deserve it?

[obamanut2012]

9. Yes, it is

[cwydro]

13. Spot on.

And duly noted.

I’m still wondering if “beachnutt” knows there are two Carolinas?

[cwydro]

8. You'll find that's not unusual.

I lived in Florida for 25 years. Hurricanes and tropical storms are to be expected.

We didn’t even take the lawn furniture in until it was a Cat 3.

[MOMFUDSKI]

29. I have lived in Florida for 32 years

and your lawn furniture comment is HYSTERICAL! lol lol lol But, yes, we are way more laid back here than most everywhere else. I will admit I woke up Wednesday morning to hear it is now a CAT 1 and it turned toward Tampa Bay and said "WHA?" to the walls. But all OK. Just want to know how many hurricanes until Christmas.

[cwydro]

30. I know, y'all are really getting it this year.

Most of my friends still live in FL (aside to OP, all Dems).

I can’t take credit for the lawn furniture joke. Remember 2005? That was a meme going around, along with the hurricane of the month thing. We had one a month that year.

6. Charlotte flooding hits record levels and threat continues

Little Sugar Creek surpassed the historic crest set during Hurricane Danny in 1997, and the water remains high

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The flood threat continues into Friday after record-breaking rainfall caused historic flooding in Charlotte and across the Carolinas Thursday.
Waterways remain swollen as rainfall from across the region works its way downstream.
Officially Charlotte recorded 4.80" of rain Thursday at Charlotte Douglas International Airport. While that alone was enough to shattered the daily record, unofficial observations show rainfall totals of over 8 inches near Harrisburg and Uptown Charlotte.

12. I grew up in Charlotte, and Little Sugar has overflowed its banks more times than I can count.

Charlotte is a blue city...wonder if our judge mental OP knows that?

[bronxiteforever]

14. Since I believe in global warming I am not rejoicing.

It will screw over everything and all creatures great and small.
North Carolina is unfortunately going to bear the first fruits but it will not be alone.

16. It flooded when NC voted for Obama too.

It flooded when I was a kid.

Not rejoicing about global warming either, but this OP is just too effing funny. He seems to have skedaddled lol.

[bronxiteforever]

19. Yes I thought it seemed snarky. I am feeling beaten down

and certainly mean no disrespect to you or the folks in your state. I stayed at Kill Devil Hills 2 years ago and loved the coast and your beleaguered gov.

[cwydro]

20. I was in Boone, NC in the late 70s, early 80s...my apartment flooded then.

That’s a mountain town.

You’re not the snarky one. I really dislike posts against regions, which is what this hit and run newbie has done. Wonder what magnificent state he lives in...that never suffers calamity?

No worries with you; I didn’t take your post to be snarky at all.

[essme]

31. Are you on the fb page

I am a native Charlottean?

Great photos of places like Charlotte town mall.....Freedom park....

[obamanut2012]

7. They are being snarkily gleeful you and us are flooded

Because the states went red.

It is pretty gross.

[bronxiteforever]

10. Just fyi, I am writing only as to your point that this flooding is normal.

I don’t know the intent of the writer of the op.

[cwydro]

11. NC has a blue governor.

And our stupid Dem senate candidate fucked his girlfriend, himself, and us.

I voted for him, but we’re still not a red state. Probably the OP might not realize there are TWO Carolinas. I’ve seen that here before, sadly.

But yeah, that’s exactly what he’s doing - a la Falwell.

[obamanut2012]

18. I know -- I love Cooper!

The OP is just so not needed right now.

[cwydro]

21. OP has scampered.

[cwydro]

15. Hey "beachnutt"!

This seems to be a hit and run OP you’ve got here, but so you know, NC has a Dem governor. Did ya know that?

Also, my dogs and I had a blast today playing on our favorite trails and wading through creeks that are usually just trickles. I wore my Wellies, and they went swimming. See, this kind of thing doesn’t faze us in the least.

In fact, we went out for three walks to two different parks and trails just to see how high the “tide” was!

I’ve got pics of my puppers frolicking in the water if you’d like to see them. It was fun. Tomorrow, we’ll be out on the lake in the canoe.

Oh, and bless your heart sugar.

[Beachnutt]

23. You sound like some sort of trumper in disguise. I was

just pointing out the flooding due to climate change that alot of people deny..
not going to argue with you so you enjoy your evening.

[cwydro]

24. A "trumper in disguise?"

Oh lordie me.

[Beachnutt]

26. Just FYI

28. No offense sugar, but I'm not clicking on anything you might suggest.

You have a nice night there in Texas now, ya hear?

[treestar]

17. This also can happen in NJ or NY

NYC had flooding in a past hurricane too. Another one damages Vermont (Irene, I think).

[Sunsky]

22. Flooding anywhere is sad nt

[Shermann]

25. Nowhere near as bad as a Steve Bannon shit flood though nt

[cwydro]

27. And you live in Texas, right "beachnutt"?

Glad I have a Dem governor.

I was sad about all that flooding in Harvey too, but didn’t make a joke about it.
