floods
this morning’s events
7:35am: *Thinks it’s Thursday.* Thinks to self: Heeeeeey… just two more days to go. Not bad.
7:40am: *Realizes it’s Wednesday* Thinks to self: Doh! This sucks… a LOT.
7:45am: *Gets in car for work* Thinks to self: I’m late… again.
7:46am: *turns on the radio* ….And Binghamton is in a state of emergency… non-emergency vehicles are not allowed on the road…. Thinks to self: Eh.
That probably doesn’t apply to me. My boss will yell at me if I
don’t get to work. *Drives a little faster* At least there
isn’t much traffic.
7:59am: *Drives by baseball field* Thinks to self: Where did this lake come from?
8:01am: *Receives text message about flooding* Thinks to self: Is it really that bad?
8:05am: *Arrives at work* Thinks to self: Hmm… why are all these people standing outside?
8:07am:
After talking to several co-workers about the severity of the flooding,
I realise my home might be evacuated. I go online to
check. My area is being evacuated. I see that power
is going to be cut from my area. Thinks to self: I have to blog about this now. Then, I should go home, save anything that is on the floor, and find a new place to live.
8:08am – 8:25am: *Blogs on xanga*Check it out here.
This is what applies to me.
If you have a home I can move into, please call me. Broadband iInternet connection is preferred. Thanks.
Superman, where are you?
*UPDATE*
So I’m home now, and things look ok. The river is really
just around the corner, but the cops haven’t told me to leave my house
yet. I looked closer at the news report to figure out how much
danger I am in, and I tried to map out the flood zones. Safe so
far. I think I’m going to go out and take a walk around and grab
some pictures…Here’s the danger map I made,
based on my news resources. Question marks are areas that are
mentioned, but not specifically designated as closed roads or evac
zones.

Bokgwai — you’re mad. Keep up the good work and thanks for the “danger map”. Hope you’re still above water.
Since I’m new at this, checked out your thinger on married people, so I clicked on “married people here” and ended up on — my wife’s site. Works for me.
