Phoenix Gold Phorum

We had this nutso storm here last night, flooded the town all sorts of mayhem. We have river access here and recently there has been lotsa city folk down there, anyways the rain hit and they all panicked. ha ha ha, ill let the pics say the rest. i left my house in the storm just to go see what was gunna happen.....

crappy shots of in town the streets were flooded.


this is what i first seen from across the bridge..


under the bridge


all people sliding off the little trail, you cant see it fro the pic but that trail is very slanted.lol





These guys tried to make it up the only other way out. and failed.....









So ya, last night was amusing.......

Scary! I bet those guys with the 4 wheel drives where thinking... "Why'd I buy street tires for my 4x4??"

so when it rains everbody runs to the river? Don't you guys have cable tv yet? ohh, canadians, I get it now. You guys just get excited when you see water in its other form huh?

Looks like a good time as long as you were not stuck.

lol, i 4x4 all the time man, im stuck like that quite often actually. I live in a town on the outskirts of the city. and all the damned city kids come out here and party down at the bridge. its very annoying and creates alot of litter and the such. this was god smiting them. and i had to see it. and your right as soon as this "water" started falling from the sky, my panties were all wet and i had to go run around. riddle me this, why are americans so stupid and ignorant??

Because we're all fat.

Let's not let this get out of hand guys. Keep this a friendly place.

uhhh....would the answer to that have something to do with not conquering Canada when we have had the chance????

wow, no need to call US(as a country) ignorant for ME sayin YOU are bored. I must have hit a nerve or something ....

hey cox where are you located ?

That's nothing were I live. The river next to us is the Wabash river. That gets stupid high. Flood stage level is around 17 feet. A few years ago, wish I had a digital camera then, it crested at 29 feet. Over flowed onto the near by railroad track at the depot, took out a bridge, flooded out a playground and the out doors ice skating rink.

There sure are a lot of crazzies and idiots out there. WTF were they thinking? Were my grandpa lived (@75 miles away from me) there was a river that had a bad storm hit it and washed out the gravel that a construction crew had pushed down in the river for a foundation for their machinery and when they went back to it the next day, they started out on the gravel and the storm had washed it away. They lost the tractor and the guy that was on it. He was never found.

My point being, while it looks like fun, what the hell possessed some of them to go through the water?

Why are there so many cars near the water? If there would be any flood where I live, I would go the other way to avoid the water.

Damn those pics are scary, guess the insurance companies do not want to pay for those vehicles...

glad I was not the only one curious.

I live in the desert so it is funny when it rains, people act like it is the first day of snow. I can remember one time calling my room mate to come out and see that it was raining. We both laughed that it was funny that rain was exciting but it only happens 10-12 times a year here. It was about a minute later when we heard our neighbor call her husband to come outside and look at the rain even though it was night time.......
