i have to say that last night was fugged up.... i have never hydroplaned on gravel ever [ without slush on the road ].... it rained so hard and so much that the roads were ponds..... the big hill on rainy creek road [ bizwangers hill ] which is west of eckvile had so much water going down the ditch on the north side of the road that it was going down the road... and i'd say most of the ditch is at least 15 feet deep... if my phone wasn't dead i'd have taken pics of it....

Interesting request....we do have a doctor on the site ....
lol...it's a Tool song....about the end of the world.....saying to Mother Nature;

"I'm praying for rain, I'm praying for tidal waves.
I wanna see the ground give way, I wanna watch it all go down.
Mom, please flush it all away, I wanna see it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in, Watch you flush it all away....."

learn to swim....

This is 2.5 miles west of Rimbey this morning. I've been here since 1984, and I've never seen this creek hit the highway before. I was walking in from the shop around midnight and watched a transformer go up in flame (well, lots of sparks anyway) about a 1/2 block from my house...sat in the dark for 9ish hours.

Im might only be 26, but having to mow the grass with rubber boots on and stalling the mower twice due to high water levels. Is something I don't think I will have to deal with anytime soon again, I hope. This is B-S. twice now we have had flash floods that blew manhole covers off and had my basement window 3" deep in water. FML

4 sump pumps hooked up and waiting 1 in reserve bring it on mother nature you grumpy B
