tj ----- Original Message ----- From: Venison88a To: talk2 Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 2:41 PM Subject: The Talk2 List Venison Stew off air temporarily My lab is effectively destroyed. Massive storm here in NJ has flooded me out. All functioning equipment was dismantled and removed because of rushing incoming water. LOTS of it. And i mean lots. And bad decision, a hardwire dsl filter was installed, so all the upstairs lines wont run broadband. Only the flooded out downstairs. So Venison Stew will have to be offline until further notice. Meaning, until i can get the place dried and cleaned out, repaired, and rewired. With much better funtion ality. And to give you an idea how bad it was here, you can read further below at some local conversations during the height of this storm. The following takes place in about 3 hours. This is in no way exagerrated. &nbs p; 4-15-2k7 venison88: holy FUCK! MAJOR flooding y'all! Temptress: oh god. I haven't stepped outside today Temptress: we flood a lot around here, this is going to be great tomorrow venison88: i cant believe how FAST the water levels rose! water is actually fountaining out of some of the cracks in the floor! and it was COMPLETELY dry down here when i went to bed! venison88: all the streams and rivers are flooding! they're alr eady doing evacuations, even here in town. Temptress: and you go to bed late, lol Temptress: what? holy fuck Temptress: well, we live in the heights at home, so we're probably ok venison88: yeah, its bad. and the rain intensity wont let up until late tonight. Temptress: as if we didn't have enough thursday venison88: wow! i just had to pull the plug on the drain at the far end of the basement. its like pulling the plug on a bathtub! ZoRoK: ah wow there shu tting roads down ZoRoK: they have the road shut down going past the school i wonder if the stream is bleeding into the street lol Dot: I know, just came back from a walk... my neighborhood is BAD.... firefighters are trying to save people on the dead ends on the next block over Dot: not to mention my basement is FLOODED and my cousin is coming over to try and help (To Zorok) venison88: just got back. went around the city, and yours. its BAD dude! 22 is shut down in so many places, it s unuseable. and one great thing. my skywarn id card got me through barracades. i flashed the card, and the cops just said, ok, but be careful. :-) venison88: cedarbrook park is COMPLETELY underwater. its now cedarbrook bay. :-P ZoRoK525: o i want to buy a boat now!
