I'm selling my possessions and buying a boat.

Apparently we (Fargo, ND) are going to have pretty much the worst flood ever. I was driving around yesterday and the city has been taken over by Army personnel in humvees and Coast Guard helicopters are flying over all the time, which feels strange since the nearest coast is 1,500 miles away.

To make things even worse, it rained all day yesterday and then snowed last night. We're supposed to have a total of 10 more inches of snow by tonight. I took a few pictures yesterday, but it's kind of hard to tell just how high it is if you're not used to what it should be. It was easily the highest I've ever seen, and the river has risen 4 feet since I took the pictures, but is supposed to rise another 5 or 6 feet by Friday or Saturday.

I never saw "I'm on a boat." I'm starting to think anything Andy touches is funny.

Also: Floods suck. Is there any place to live in the US that doesn't have a natural disaster?

Yikes, that's pretty scary. Best of luck to you.

Hopefully it won't reach my apartment building, but after the new projections today, I'm not so sure. Either way, I'm on the third floor so everything except maybe my car will be alright.

I lived in Puerto Rico during Hurrican Hugo.
I was a young child.
The house flooded. It was awesome. My house was a swimming pool. Just pretend you are 4 and it will all be really cool.

It's called a tetanus shot. You get them when you're like 6 and they last forever.

i have to disagree on the Andy point, and I also have to say that if you go north of duluth the *only* thing we get is blizzards. ever. the only exception is the random once-every-ten-years tornado

I do and yes, it is. However, pretty much none of it was actually filmed here.

Even worse news. The new projection is 2 feet higher than the original... I don't think I'll need to evacuate since according to the evac maps they posted I'm in one of the safest spots in the city. However, I am a little worried that I won't be able to get anywhere once the **** hits the fan. :omg:

Make sure you've got food and WATER, batteries, I dunno, whatever other stuff you could conceivably need for a while... I would love to be stranded for a bit, lol...

So why do places like Fargo wait this long to fix their flooding problem? Every year, Fargo floods, and only this year they decide to blast out the ice so things can flow? And they do it weeks into the flood? Stupid.
