Here's hoping all you east coast riders escaped major flooding. Pics on the news don't look good. Ride safe and hopefully stay dry! :yikes:

Yes... South Carolina is getting hit really bad with the rains. :shock: No issues for us in Maryland.

My son is in Columbia S.C. They were hit hard. Lots of the pics shown on national news are from there. He is OK, his apt is on the third floor, however he works on the nukes they are building and the sites are shut down.

We have a lot of empty reservoirs that need filling.

Kalifornia was bustling back in the day... people moved for the availability of work. And the nice weather. But they tried to turn that desert into another climate.

Rice paddies in the desert? Really? C'mon....!!! :icon_rolleyes:

It's not nice to fool Mother Nature. :shhh:

Not much worse than building within sight of the ocean and then expecting to not get wet. Its all about choices. Some see the rewards but ignore the risks. That's why our insurance premiums are so high. We have to pay for those choices. Sorry , that's just the way I feel about it.
