We got hit with the remnants of a really bad hurricane when I was younger (geeze maybe 8-10 years ago, I don't exactly remember, but literally everything around here flooded. There was so baseball or football fields for a few years. Luckily, I live on the edge of a 300 foot valley, so it all drained down.

I know, every place has to deal with their own crazy forms of mother nature. We get so used to them it becomes second nature to us. And I know that most places in the south are not prepared for the snow. I heard a few years ago Dallas got caught with a crazy snowstorm and they only had 1 snow plow... My little township has like 100 of them. But nobody around here has a storm cellar, just a regular cellar, that all constantly fill with water. Thank goodness for sub-pumps and dehumidifiers.

Hell, my house flooded about twenty years ago, and that was from a spring rain... And some poorly handled maintenance work on a canal in our neighborhood... They left the drainage obstructed during the storm. 6 + feet of water in the house, overnight.

And that wasn't even a hurricane or anything... just a super heavy rain that flooded even higher ground. My neighborhood wasn't the only one, we just had particularly bad flooding due to that drainage issue.

Seriously, I defy anyone to find me a plot of ground in the country that is completely immune to disaster.

Not even disaster is immune to disaster...

That place exists nowhere on this planet Rev.

Also a canal in your neighborhood? For water runoff? I have never seen that.

Hey guys! Just started snowing again here for the umpteenth time this month. This weather, man. Early December I was really expecting a mild one.

Has anyone in here ordered juice from Lucky 7 during their sale? My order supposedly shipped out 11 days ago but I have not received a tracking number and the site has been down for a couple days now.

The city of new Orleans and surrounding areas are below sea level. There are plenty of areas that technically used to be swamp. Now I live on the high ground of the Mississippi, outside the city. But many of the areas need drainage in order to remain dry, and that all pumps to the river on one side, and lake Pontchartrain on the other... And that drainage passes through the whole area.

So, where some areas that were lower lying were draining properly, that accumulated runoff didn't pass properly through the drainage in my neighborhood on its way to the river. It just filled up and overflowed through the neighborhood

Well, usually there are at least a few people up at this time.... Everyone hiding from the snow or what? Only like midnight on the west coast... SHOCKER!!

I guess that is g'night for me then.... I don't know if I will be able to fall asleep knowing that this blue raspberry juice will be sitting there, needing someone to warm it up.

Also, I lost a coil "condom" down the drain today. Only used that coil for maybe 4-5 tanks, oh well it is with the mutant sewer people now, I'm sure they will find some use for it. Good thing I bought a coil pack last order, and good thing I can just transfer them. I think I will retire that coil though, just because I can have a fresh one.

Thanks penguin! View attachment 300381

Good evening safefun, we have been waiting for your expert opinion on something!

Gopher is flying to Singapore is he going to be put in jail when customs finds 15 tanks, 6 batteries , 6 mods and 10 bottles of juice in his bag?

Morning Evie! Has any of the ice melted your way?

I believe SafeFun answered last night. Something about breaking everything down and putting it in your checked luggage. Also, pray hard. I get the impression it isn't legal there.

Is it completely illegal to own one or just to import those things on the internet?
