A couple of weeks ago we got some incredible rains, over a foot here in Saugus. I have never seen route one under water and probably never will again. Found some pics at the town site, check out route one pics.

I know the feeling.

We got 6 inches of snow on Christmas Eve 2004.

In Houston.

Think about that.

Spent some time in Jax, fl. They said they got 3 inches of snow one time and it crippled the city

Houston wasn't crippled.  It was shut down.  But it was Christmas day so it was ok.

This is a flood

I was stuck in traffic on that road on my way to work about an hour earlier. A river broke it's banks later and those cars were caught.  A guy from work saw it happen, said it was like a tidal wave. The cars were swept along like toys.

This was later when the water dropped. On my way home the previous night. I drove onto that bridge and couldn't believe what I saw down below.




Someone in work put the picture on on all the PC's as wallpaper, with photoshopped a Loch Ness monster cruising across the lanes

Meanwhile, it's 85-degrees in the Mojave Desert.

So much for global warming. ;)
