Re: Geeze Louise - I Need an Ark!!
Robin, in Atlanta, are the powerlines overhead, or are they burried underground? Here in Louisiana they are overhead, and power can go out very easily.
Re: Geeze Louise - I Need an Ark!!
Wow, Robin. I can't imagine going through that. I hope that it stops soon and things get back to normal for you!
Re: Geeze Louise - I Need an Ark!!
I am 10-15 minutes north of Robin and I couldn't even leave to get my paycheck. The three roads I tried to go down where flooded! It hasn't rained like this in a long time! Just a good day to get caught up on my cage cleaning duties!

Hang in there, Robin! Of course the loss of life and danger of the rains is terrible but the rain... I am a little jealous. I love torrential rains! Some of my favorite times were living in South Florida from 2004-2006 during the active hurricane seasons! Weird, huh?

I'm the same way! I love the rain...and have been wondering where the heck this year's rain has got to. Now I know. Robin, tell the skies above Atlanta to give Florida her rain back! LOL
Re: Geeze Louise - I Need an Ark!!
Nothing like sleeping in a house with a tin roof during a rain storm in spring. :gj:

Karl claims that all this rain came from six days that you guys just had. Is he telling me a story!
And I'm a she - for those that didn't know.
I left work an hour early today - thank goodness. I drove past this little local park and people were stopped taking pictures of it - you can't see the parking lot, and the water is flooded to the roof of the picnic pavillions.
Appreciate all the offers of help - who wants to come over and dry off a soaking wet dog for me???
The stories of loss of life are really sad. There was a good samaritan who was helping another lady who spun out on top of Spaghetti Junction (where 285 and 85 converge with loops of bridges). A truck hit her car from behind, which knocked her over the railing where she fell 55 feet onto the highway below.:tears:

And today another lady's car was washed away, she's calling 911 and family to get them to help her - they just found her body this afternoon. Four people are missing right now.
I will say that I'm very grateful for four new tires on my car.

Does anyone else hear the crickets in the silence. :rofl:
Re: Geeze Louise - I Need an Ark!!
Hmm. I'm not really a dog person. Well depends on the breed I guess. One of these days i'm going to get a German Rottweiler & a Doberman Pinscher, both as puppies so they are best friends with me when I get older. Anyways Robin you should get a truck so even if the roads are flooded, you can still drive around. Then charge people to bring them places. muwhaha.
Re: Geeze Louise - I Need an Ark!!
Well I guess our drought is over :rolleyes: good thing we have a boat just in case :rolleyes:, at least the creek behind our house is behaving and plus we are up the creek not down.
It is bad but hopefully we should get a break tonight
