    Yeah I live on Wilcrest and I've tried 3 times to get to work, with no success. And now it's starting to rain again. Stupid rain.

    Oh it doesn't exist. I just wish it did. I got my kicks off clips on the news.

    Frank Billingsley did a live play by play of a wake effect on a smaller vehicle. It was cool.

    Oh... I retract the "shame on you" comment.

    And I'm bummed - I, too, like to watch the footage of the stupid people that try to drive thru water that they obvously shouldn't attempt.

    There's a cold front coming with this rain, so I think we're safe from the mosquitos...

    On the way to work (imperial valley/Beltway 8), it was crap :( I was 20 mins late for work and the freeways were wayyy to slick. Oh well made it in one piece

    For some reason, I thought you were living in Virginia.

    On a sidenote, that's why I am considering the H3, that way I can laugh at all the Corollas and Civics trying to get through high-water. ;)

    i moved back to htown last year...

    damn the water went away as fast as it piled up. im impressed. 10 years ago, this same neighborhood, when it flooded this much it stayed that way for a few days.

    and i guess no mosquitos either.

    :)
    good weather.

    Yah, I was impressed. Right after it stopped raining over here on the SW side, less than an hour later I was heading home and everything was back to normal.

    Real nice weather now though, so I guess it was worth it.
