Historic Flooding in the Atlanta area...

[ProdigalJunkMail]

some locations over 15"+ in the last 24 hours. Lake Lanier (primary northern reservoir) has gained nearly two FEET in the last 48 hours... geez... maybe this will help with the water wars...

1. Nancy creek projected to be over a foot higher than the '71 floods

and there is discussion of Peachtree creek exceeding 25' (massive flooding starts at 23')...

2. It's the beginning of the rapture...

(edit to add: :sarcasm: )

5. That is what I told my mom. Beginning of the end of days. I've signed up with

Earthbound pets...I'm gonna stay back and care for the precious pets left behind.

I can't wait.

7. you mean pets don't get to go? most of the pets i know

are a lot better than most of the people i know...

sP

[xultar]

25. Mine are surely better than most people. The rapture is bullshit though.

So when their parents vanish...

I'll kiss and love on their dogs while they are gone.

9. Can I help you care of the pets? :-)

I'm in TN, but I can get to Atlanta in a few hours.

[lapfog_1]

10. I'd love to do that... cats and dogs just LOVE me

even ones that friends own who say "he doesn't like any strangers".

I understand that there are some people that are making a business on this concept.

I would join them, but I think taking advantage of the weak minded is morally wrong.

17. "I think taking advantage of the weak minded is morally wrong."

I usually agree, but it gives them comfort to know that their pets will be rescued should the rapture happen.

I know that my mom worries about her pets after the rapture. Bless her heart.


I guess she thinks I'm still saved since I went through all the baptism stuff when I was 12 (and although she knows I'm gay, I haven't bothered telling her I'm agnostic/atheist).

[xultar]

24. agnostic/atheist...well you wouldn't wanna give her a heart attack. Let her be on that.

21. Fellow Atlantan Here and I'll Stay Behind Too

We can kick back with a few margaritas and watch the doggies play...

[KakistocracyHater]

23. no the BEES were raptured, they call it colony collapse because they don't

want to admit that Humans were not the chosen ones.:rofl:

[xultar]

3. I was in that shit this morning @ 5am heading to the airport from the Mall of GA.

OMG...Spaghetti junction was closed down.

CRAZY! CRAZY!!!! CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6. OK we gotta do lunch one day. I'm always @ the new homegoods

I'll PM you.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

8. I am all about lunch :-) n/t

11. Uh-oh ... No Malloy tonight? Isn't he out in the North Georgia mountains?

They've been having technical problems lately (at least
that's what he's been saying), even before flooding ... !

[CatWoman]

13. actually, he lives near me

but broadcasts out in the mountains.

12. Remember when Sonny Perdue (R-Obviously) was praying for rain?

It never fails. Amateurs like that pray for rain, they get flooding. :eyes:

My favorite Atlantan (even ahead of xultar!) is a wheelchair user. Wonder how she's faring...

[opihimoimoi]

14. LOL...2 years ago reduced to prayin for rain...and now, get a flood

Hopefully them lake reservoirs get filled to spill level...

Ya never noes when the next historic LOW gonna hit ya....

16. My fiance's place got flooded

She won't be able to contact me for some time. She's no in Atlanta, but her home is flooded.

[Thickasabrick]

18. Some people left their little dog in the basement and woke up to find it drowned.

It was one of those fu-fu dogs. I thought that was so sad.

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. Well this reminds me of Mexico City

which is also in the midst of a historic drought.

Weather more unpredictable... that is global weather change

Stay safe folks and the PSA goes without saying, do not try to drive through flooded streets. It is not fun and you can get killed doing that.

[NC_Nurse]

20. I live in the basement. Water is starting to come into my bathroom and back

door areas. My rugs are all soaked. Had to drive home a different way due to low lying flooding over the road near my house.

I think God must've been out. He came home to a bunch of voice mails from GA wanting rain. We got it. Damn.

:(

22. Forty Minutes to Get to Work This Morning - Normally a Fifteen Minute Drvie

they let us go about 3:30pm when it was raining as if God left the faucet on...
