Send a lifeboat.....South Florida is drowning

Blueface · 12-18-2009, 11:09 AM

Over a foot of rain in 24 hours.
Floods everywhere in South Florida.

Someone please call the necessary folks and tell them THIS IS NOT OUR RAINY SEASON!!! TURN IT OFF!!!

but Carlos, you can swim, right?

icehog3 · 12-18-2009, 11:10 AM

If you were here, it would be 10 feet of snow. Consider yourself lucky, Carlos!

kugie · 12-18-2009, 11:11 AM

Your rain in Florida it will stop.

I left my house this morning and it was 4 degrees. two weeks ago it was 65 degrees. It will be like this for the next 2 months

Don't you know Cubans are the best long distance swimmers ever? We can do a 90 mile swim in a heartbeat.

I can't wait for the folks in the NE to chime in. They have over a foot of snow headed their way.

I do appreciate all the consolation.

I asuume your patio is not flooded, so I am still jealous of your smoking environment, rain or shine!

Close.
I had to empty the overflowing pool last night in the middle of the rain.
Water was creeping its way half way up my patio table where you were at.

I emptied it again this morning and it is about two inches from overflowing again. It is really pouring now since I started this thread. I pissed someone off.

Gonna be 75 & sunny all weekend long out here; you should swim on over!

I usually want to move to South Florida, but for today I want to move to Central Florida.

shilala · 12-18-2009, 11:26 AM

I'm gonna come down and suffer through it from the 6th to the 13th.
I'm going a little further south though.
Keep bailing, Carlos. I'd like it if you had it all cleaned up when I get there.

And yeah, someone said it was supposed to snow crazy here today or tonight. I have four wheel drive and a thermostat on the wall. I just twist that thermostat thing and it's all just fine.

If I have to go out, there's a thermostat thing in the four wheel drive, too.

Hope the deluge ends soon, Carlos. Floods are serious business. Hope our friend Bill in the Keys has his scuba tanks filled just in case it gets much worse.

replicant_argent · 12-18-2009, 11:33 AM

Carlos... I would trade the cold for a torrential rainstorm and the opportunity to hang out with you and Clara in your flooded pool any day of the week.

Gotta give him a call.
Keys folks are "different".
Probably not even phased.
They have a "Jeff Spicoli" look on life.

Blueface · 12-18-2009, 11:36 AM

Just a drizzle now.

QUICK, all come on down!!!
