Ken Gargett Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 currently hoping not to be washed away. i might be able to salvage wine bottles from the creek but not cigars. with the next 24 hours predicted to be worse, who knows? satelite showing a lot more heavy rain to come. possum long gone, thougn a few new ones playing on the balcony at some very early hour yesterday. i suspect that they are now washed away.
Stormin691 Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Geez Ken! Good luck out there pal... Message in a bottle if u need to be bailed out!
android Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Dammmm....Ken....put those cigars in lots of plastic bags and duck tape!
Ken Gargett Posted May 20, 2009 Author Posted May 20, 2009 How's the fishing? olympic kayaking might work better at the moment.
Evo03 Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Looks like a swift current. I hope they're wrong about more rain
Ginseng Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Holy cow. Stay safe, Ken. Remember, cabs are pretty air tight. If the situation gets dire, strap a couple together and you've got the best smelling raft ever made. Wilkey
El Presidente Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Relax ken, I have seen this before. Put on your white Kaftan....get a big walking stick...and summon 2 of every animal into the house
OZCUBAN Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Hi Ken Try to stay dry a bit hard i would suspect,wish we had some of that rain in the west,longest dry spell to the start of winter ever stay dry and safe mate Cheers Oz
OZCUBAN Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 And one more thing,was your avatar pic taken from your balcony ? CheersOz
Ken Gargett Posted May 20, 2009 Author Posted May 20, 2009 And one more thing,was your avatar pic taken from your balcony ?CheersOz if only i had fish like that here@! would have saved me a truckload of money.
CigarmanTim Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 What a view (during calmer times) you must have while enjoying a Cuban off that deck.
SmokinLightning Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Having once been flooded out of a home (yes... in Arizona!), that would have me shitting bricks. Good luck mate... maybe when things dry out it's time to look into some cement embankments... if the house is still there that is.
Jesuscookies Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Wow! Hopefully the rain stops soon. Hang in there.
Ken Gargett Posted May 20, 2009 Author Posted May 20, 2009 just saw a log the size of a car go whizzing past at high sped. it is up another four or five feet. off to find my floaties.
Ethernut Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Much symathy for you my brother. Stay safe.. Your plight did remind me of an old joke though.. Maybe it'll lift your spirits. A guys house started to flood by a river and he prayed to God to save him. So immediately, a boat pulls up to his front door and they ask him to get in, the gentleman replies that he'll wait for God to save him and the boat moves on. The Flood reaches the base of his roof and another boat comes by to which the man still holds fast the God will save him. The river continues to advance to the point that the man is standing on his tip toes at the top of the roof and a helicopter drops a ladder down but the man shouts up that he's waiting for God to save him. A few minutes later he drowns and wakes up in heaven. God is standing over him. The Man angrily asks why he did save him and God repies, "I sent you two boats and a helicopter, what more did you want"?

Huckins Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Any clear areas for a helicopter to drop in and save the cigars?
