The Weather Thread

[Weedguru_RyaNayR]

i love snow and cold weather, as long as i don't have to live in it. i've had to live with like 5-7 inches of snowfall everyday, or somethng like that, needless to say there was like 15-20 ft of snow on the ground where it hadn't been plowed out or packed down.

sunny... beautiful.... fucking cold

[Weedguru Higher]

It's been raining hard for 2 days and 2 nights straight, and another day in the forecast. I sense there's gonna be some flooding somewhere...

[SpRi7e]

my plants are hating this I bet...

[Weedguru Higher]

Far more rain has fallen than I had initially thought...haven't been watching the news either..
Everything in my area is starting to flood...the water is up real close to the roads in certain areas

This is the river behind my house right now....there's about 10 feet left before the water goes over the huge cement wall barrier along the river that was built in the 60's after my town was totally wiped out in a flood...Hope to hell it stops raining soon...










And this is what it should look like









And this picture is on the frontpage of my local newspaper....this is (was) a construction zone where they are building a new portion of autoroute

holy shit dude thats crazy, i would totally not have moved right near a river that had at one point destroyed the entire town personally lol

[Weedguru Higher]

Well, they built those huge walls and a dam further down the river since that...it's never flooded here since.

Edit : Parts of another town upriver from me are being evacuated...they don't have the tall walls we do and the water is currently up over the roads in spots. The road my kids bus takes to get home is closed...wanna bet shes gonna be late? And I wonder how the hell they drop of the kids that run along that road?

This is the town upriver from me...




The pic says 19 ft but it's currently at 21 feet. At 22 feet a state of emergency is declared and the downtown portion will be completely evacuated.

2nd Edit:

The water level has hit 22 feet and about 10 downtown roads have been closed and more houses evacuated . My kid is going to be stranded at school....the roads leading from it all head into the flooding zone

[Weedguru Higher]

Things are going from bad to worse with every passing minute...the white things in the last pic are those massive hay bales that are wrapped in plastic

These pics are all along the same river than runs by my place within 20 minutes from me

I'm starting to get worried...

[Bubbles]

holy shit are any of these of your town?

[Weedguru Higher]

Not in those last pictures, they are towns on either side of me about 15 mins away each along the same river

I just contacted the transportation department at school to ask them about the school buses, and he said the road leading out of the school is closed, and that most but not all the buses made it to school. I called just as buses were boarding and he did not know which buses didn't make it . He said for the ones able to leave they were instructed to detour via a country road that leads way around to another town and back into my town sorta. It's a good 35km detour. After that he said to call back if my kid was over 30 minutes late, because possibly because of my area the bus will be unable to come in close to me. In that case the bus will wait somewhere until I can make it there to pick up my kid . If they can't get to me how the hell can I get to them??



Edit : I just sent those pics I took into the news channel and they aired it in like 10 mins!

[SpRi7e]

haha that's sweet that you got it in the news!

the river along my town is nearly flooded, but they don't expect it to get any higher than what it is so there shouldn't be too many worries

[Weedguru Higher]

Guys, even if you aren't Jesus freaks , please say a prayer for me....

The water is getting higher by the minute...

This is part of the downtown of the city 15-20 mins from me..the entire downtown has been evacuated and all roads and bridges closed











The last pic is the road that my kids bus barely got through before they closed it

[Weedguru Higher]

The water is now over 24ft..

If I disappear it's cause I've been evacuated..look how close the water is to the top of the wall behind my place now

[logically]

get all your valuables packed dude!
