Thanks to Debbie i have waterfront property,this happens every hurricane season we have had over 6 inches of rain so far today in my area. My mobilehome and garage are ok [except the porch is flooded]. The photo of the street flooded is looking west from my place about halfway down is deep enough to cover the exhaust on my ram dually diesel. My back yard has about a foot of water in it [it's running out the rut where i drive my truck into the yard like a river.

river

Wish we had some rain up here, none for about a month to speak of. But then I have not had to mow for awhile. Better sell now, you get more for lake frontage.
 
My first house got water IN it 3 times!! The first time I didn't have flood insurance but I did the 2nd and 3rd times. It still sucks. I sold that muther right after the 3rd and got a place that has never flooded! If this place floods, the whole area will be in deep chit...
 
Been here for 23 years happens every year unfortunly even with lake front it's still worth very little,i'm glad i picked this mobile when i looked at these they tried to sell me one down the street near the middle of the deep water. My porch has about an inch or two in it hopefully my charger parts are ok.
 
isnt having a Cool Classic Cuda against the homeowner rules in that park?? :grin:[/QUOTE

No, building hot rods in the garage for the past 20 years is. Having a garage could be too [but i'm special].My neighbors are all car folks [luckely].

Hope you didn't get too much damage. I'll stop bitching about the inch of rain we got here yesterday.
 
Holy crap! You need a house boat with corresponding garage! And my Tahiti jet boat so you can get around. I'll bring my water ski too.
 
where are u in the bikini state? i bought a trailer down there last year one exit north of H-D daytona.
 
They were showing Jacksonville on the TV... Downtown area flooded .....Florida’s orange crop threaten also.....Good luck...
 
I was watching the storm tracks for the past couple of days, and just yesterday they said Debby was Texas bound. Then Jacksonville started getting hit hard last night, and I was out at 2:00AM draining the pool for the second time, and I told the wife "Debby ain't going to Texas."

We got about 4-5" it looks like, with another day or two to go. On the upside I don't have to pay to top off the pool. :)
 
Holy crap dude! On the bright side, you don't have to go fishing, they come to you.

Good luck Amigo, and try to stay dry.
 
Sorry to hear about the misfortune, Good luck & stay dry, I hope the water doesn't raise too much more or screw anything up... Flood &/or Weather Related insurances there in Florida must be freaken ridiculously high... I use to live in a flood prone area by the unregulated portions of the Consumnes River, in Sloughhouse/Rancho Murieta in the Eastern Rural Sacramento Valley, in Calif., my place was on a hill on high ground about 50-75 ft. above highest water level ever, so I never got water in anything but had it in our neighborhood in the lower areas, several times, makes a freaken mess & costs a ton to fix all the little **** it ruins, electricity out for ever it seems & transformers having to be replaced, sewer problems gross stuff & drinking water problems too, propane tanks floating down the street, cars & houses messed up, stores closed, gas stations ruined, roads closed & having to travel 50 miles out of your way to get to work, get fuel or go shopping etc., I loved being right next to the river, but the nearly, almost yearly flooding hassles weren't worth it in the long run... NO MORE FLOOD PRONE AREAS FOR ME... If my place I own now floods, California's coast line is under 2500+ ft. of water & everyone is in really deep ****...
 
Thanks ya'll we receved no damage in my area there were several tornados that did damage in the countys that surround us. They are saying we are gonna have to put up with Debbie till saturday when she clears the east coast of Florida into the Atlantic. Budnicks i do not have any insurance on this property,for many years i did but the insurance companys here in fla. [probly elsewhere also] won't cover older mobile homes [mine is a 1973] due to they are not built well enough and the ones that will want 1500-2500 a year for coverage [good luck filing a claim and gettin paid] which i'm unable to afford. But you can pick up a mobile here for less than 10k thats nice in a nice park or buy a fifth wheel rv which is my plan for retirement anyway.
 
Fla 66... that is great you have good neighbors. My neighbors down there are great with the cars... but wanted to complain about my lemon tree. High producing tree and they cut it down without my knowledge. said they were afraid it might grow over on their property.

He's got cancer now....so its time to sue!!! :headbang:

Only problem with my neighbors is they love cats [i don't] yard smells like a litterbox and they get on our drivers. We did not have but a couple around till they moved in and in 1 year and 4 litters i'm overrun. Update the humaine socity came yesterday and took all but three [thank god].


Thank you Ron73.
 
Play nice now, they tolerate your cars (and air compressor), you gotta tolerate the cats (although it sounds like the neighbors could be a bit more responsible).

I'm a car guy and a cat guy (go figure). About 90% of all cats picked up by animal control get euthanized (killed) almost immeadiately upon arrival vs 40% for dogs.
I like dogs too, but cats get a raw deal. Don't get me started on why we're paying a staff of government employees who's 40 hour work week pretty much consists entirely of killing stray animals and unwanted pets.

On a lighter note-

Nice to finally have a morning that doesn't start with rain.
It was kind of fun to plan my day around the bands of rain, using the various animated radar feeds available.
