Although we need that rain I would rather have seen it go out west.  A ton of homes have been burned down!

+1 on the rain from DRY Wisconsin.

LOL - on Noah, good to keep a bit of a sense of humor.
 
I know about the boats and the weight of water. My step son is a commercial fisherman in Cordova, Alaska, and with 20 feet of snow in the two weeks following New Years Day they had several boats sink or capsize from the weight.
 
Hope you get a little break to dry out!

We got our 20" of rain.  There were places that got 25" though.  Funny thing is when the rain left we set a new low temp. record.  That was Thursday morning at 67*.  Then by 2PM we were at 93*.  Lots of flooding.  Especially west of Jacksonville.  They closed down I-10 because of flooding and a sink hole.  One town was 80% flooded.  They figure that because of the flat land it will take about 2 to 4 weeks for streams to get back to normal. 

I did get worried when I saw some bearded guy building an ark!LOL

Terry

After thought:  There was a 43' boat tied at the dock in Saint Augustine that sank right there.  Between the rain and wind driven waves she filled up and sank.  They tried pumping it out with their bildge(SP?) pumps but couldn't keep up.

I'm wondering about the other creepy crawlers that inhabit swamps.  When I lived near Galveston Bay, big rains would displace alligators and snakes.  As a consequence one needs to be careful for a few days after flooding.  Is there a problem like that where you are.
Give the ducks and frogs our regards from dry Nevada.

Hey, Goose.  Adding the pontoons sounds like a good idea.  More like a Houseboat, doncha think?

We'll take some of that rain in Nevada.

  Goose is right, We were at a car show in Williams Az and a major storm came in, I had both front corners of the R Dome tethered and the wind bent the shock pole and the top right pole,but it never leaked or blew down.

We're in a state park near Keystone Heights, FL, which is in the path of Debby (if it goes to Jacksonville, one of many paths).   We had 16 straight hours of hard rain overnight.  A few small tree branches fell on the slide-out's roof and sounded like whole limbs when they hit!  Nothing serious.  The roof held up and there's no leaks from it or the windows.  We still have our pod dome up and it, too, is fine.  Things may change when the storm starts to  move this way and the wind picks up, but we're kind of deep in the woods and most of the wind is blocked.  We hate to take the dome down because right now it's our only escape from the pod.   Isn't camping fun?   ]]> Mon, 25 Jun 2012 10:12:57 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2702&PID=25538#25538
