My Neighbor Had 5 FEET Of Water In His Basement Friday Night

[matcom]

i CANNOT imagine. thank SOMEONE for the little hill our house sits on. The guy is 5 houses down the street.

said he heard a noise at 3:00 am and went down. his REFRIDGERATOR was floating and hitting the walls.

oh man.

we got SOOOO lucky.

1. is that all?

2. Anyone in an intact house

who doesn't have to flee or even call his insurance agent with a heavy heart in the morning is lucky. Flooding is a problem, no matter what the source.

3. Ouch. But then, he should be glad for the basement.

If I had 5 feet of water here, it would be over 1/2 way up my walls. But then, I'm on high ground too.

4. Hrmmm... Maybe I should send you

the plans for building an ark by e-mail.

6. The bigger engineering feat would be finding a group of animals

that would want to be on the same boat as that fuck-ugly pug of his :D

7. Will Pitt, I believe, is willing to bbq Remy.

So if Pitt's on the boat flipping burgers on the poop deck, you might want to give dinner a pass.

5. The moooolllllddddd oohhhhhhh

Just thinking about the mold something like that would create scares the shit out of me.

I hope your poor neighbor doesn't have to burn his house down to escape the mold! (And I'm only 80% kidding.)

Power off?

9. Bwahahahahaha

No really, that sucks. Truly.

I live on a hill. Our basement drains towards the..... garage door. I've never seen sheet flow across the basement, but if it did, I'd simply open the door and let it out.
