I don't think I'm going anywhere for a while... I don't like swimming.

Having lived in FL basically my entire life... I feel your pain. I'm always amazed by how people freak out in the stores over the stupidest stuff (here it's generators; since it's so Gdamn hot here during hurricane season, the idea of no air is frightening >< I spent two months in 04 with about five days of power and no air, it was miserable).
Hope everything is going okay for you :)

Geez, seems to be the apocalypse all around-I am stranded in three feet of snow and I want to go sledding as much as you want to go swimming.

It's silly how something as silly as clean water doesn't seem important until you have none. Such a scary situation!

...And there's always at least one person who tries to go swimming in that. *facepalm* I never could understand why anyone would but humanity seems to continuously prove me wrong. XD Anyways, at least your alright, but it looks like it's pretty nasty out there. :ohnoes:

Haha, if people start looting it will be an utterly pathetic moment to witness. This is not New Orleans being battered to rubble by hurricane Katrina. Mostly, common sense and organisation is all we need to get through it.

Though I guess a lot of people lack both those things. :P

this is true...we've had the opposite...so much snow! New York is getting buried, but where i live, we're really rather used to it. it's only the silly people in their sports cars trying to get through a foot of snow that makes driving around here difficult.

I suppose if you can find folks with boats it wouldn't be too awful bad getting around... i wouldn't know, i've never seen a real flood.. (you know, beyond a street drain backing up some at the corner)

This is where I would try and lighten the mood by saying something positive and handing you a snorkel.

However I am moved by this and I hope you don't flood. :(

I look at those pictures and I'm literally holding my breath in regards to that dam of yours. Are there plans for you 'boxed in' people to evacuate?

Some of us. I'm not trapped enough to warrant rescuing, but certainly SES workers are rescuing those who are trapped on wee hills with absolutely nowhere to go. I can move around a couple of blocks or so before it's like 'oh. Road's gone. Houses are gone.' We were able to get to the next suburb to buy food, for example, so our main concern at the moment is worrying about the water supplies being contaminated, and power being cut (as it was earlier this evening).

The dam... opening the floodgates will help. It'll cause the water levels to rise a lot more, but if they aren't opened, the devastation will be massive, and there will be a lot of people swept away and drowned, because the walls will simply explode and all the water in the dam will crash forth. And then we'll have no water for drinking, bathing etc either. :/
