with a lot of hills. All this rain is flooding out everything, including the two access roads that go to URI and 3 of the 4 main routes to get there are closed down. Extended Spring Break!

Unfortunately those who live on the two main rivers in the state are in trouble, they are already flooded and expected to rise another 4-6'.

Whoa, be safe out there

about 2 weeks ago I woke up and drove to work.  Over night all the rivers that run into the Mississippi jumped up about 10-15'.   They will probably stay like that for awhile.

Sucks doesnt it.  Although MO isnt a tiny state.

I've never seen a cement mixer completely submerged before... The building next to UPS has water rapidly approaching the second story. 

Had to look. The county that I live in is over 2X's the size of RI. Hope it dries out for you soon.

Be safe man. I heard things are pretty bad over there.

What, no photos?

I just spent 20 hours at work getting water out of the warehouse. fun fun

This states stupidity amazes me. The three main towns under water (where I live) are pretty much trapped. It took me 48 minutes to drive to CVS which is less than 3 miles away because of all of the blocked off and closed roads. Yet tomorrow the Governor wants everything opened.  :

It took me one hour to get to work this morning. It's a two mile commute. Then, we all sat in gridlock in our brown trucks for four hours before we even got to the highway.

These pics are from the Warwick Mall, which is a half a mile from my house...

Office building next to our UPS hub.

Gnarly! They are probably gonna find Tin floating around somewhere on his hemorrhoid donut. ;D

LOL

;D

STay dry if thats possible,  any word on LBH and others, they okay? :-?

Russ is about 4 miles south of me, out of the flood area. Plus, he lives on the 3rd floor.  8-)

We get ours today....expecting 40-50 MPH winds and 1-3 inches of rain....was supposed to go to Eastern Wa. to fish for 4 days but with a winter storm warning for 1-3ft of snow at Snoqualmie pass and night temps of 20-25 I will not be camping this weekend..... :'(

oh just heard...one of the Refineries in Anacortes just blew up killing 3 and injuring 4..... lost lives are bad enough.... and last time this happened in '98 it raised fuel prices 20-30 cents...This Spring is gonna suck!!!

Jeez, start building an Ark! Meanwhile, its 83.2°, sunny, with a slight breeze in Rochester.
