Rainpocalpyse 2011: The Rainageddon

Yeah, so I live in New Jersey and there's hella amounts of rain. My backyard was flooded and the bridge across the damage ditch uprooted (a very small bridge, mind you). Oh, and there's a small bit of water in the basement from a brief time when the drain was off.

But the power has never gone out (occasionally flickered, but never out), the water has receded, and now it's just wet and shitty looking outside. But no damage, no harm done.

Though y'all should know. For the record I'm northwestern NJ (like 20 minutes from Pennsylvania), not the shore.

Also, the power keeps flickering (not going out, but farting out for a split second) and it's becoming a bitch to type things like this. Luckily Firefox saved a majority of this blog so I was able to finish.

We've had a fucktonne of rain here in the UK too. So much so that our bathroom ceiling has collapsed into the bath. Joy :glare:

The rain for the OP is because of a HURRICANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :3

But no, really, if rain was that bad for him and where he is, it's gonna suck for those even closer that aren't really in the direct path.

I had that problem too, Guild, where my power flickered a lot throughout the night.

Also
The road looked like a flume ride at an amusement park.
The storm's gone, but it's windy as all hell here, now.

Also in NJ, only about 10 or so minutes away from Guild. While the storm came through where I live, my house was basically untouched. From what I'm hearing about other people who live nearby, I got pretty lucky.

Bitch, you live up the street from me. How could you not see the flooding in the streets?
 
Gahars
Yeah, the street resembled a river, at times. But I imagine it was like that everywhere anyway, so that's not a huge deal, really.

I said my house was untouched, not, "A hurricane didn't pass by." Foo.

A tree fell and nearly crushed my pig's pen. The bugger was the largest one in the yard too, at least 80 feet. Water rushed through the walls of my basement and made for a nasty flood, luckily me and my folks got everything out in time. Now it's all a matter of waiting out the water and hoping it doesn't break our sub-pump.

Yikes.
No offense, but it seems like everything bad that could happen does happen to you.

There's a crater in my backyard and a giant oak about to knock down about ten more trees.

But hey, at least I'm still charming.

    @Psionic Roshambo, The Wii U gamepads are tied to the console's region, so its impossible to find a cheap gamepad that supports your model.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Unless you modify your system, of course, and remove the region check.

    @Xdqwerty can we discuss chrono trigger
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @salazarcosplay, why not?
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @Xdqwerty I like how the game had the middle ages 1000AD, the dark ages 600AD.It was great seeing the post robot apocalypse 2300 like Terminator and enter the matrix. some of mad max and fallout. 2300ad though it could had used more elements instead of just a generic ai uprising. It was a great idea for their judgement day to be 1999 Y2K.

    -great additions if they would have made an expansion or dlc in my opinion would be finding out humans trapped in a matrix -

    a follower having a cyborg character living tissue over metal endoskelleton like terminator, and the synths from fallout
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    4After Zeal fell it would have been good to see more ancient eras. Perhaps Sumeria based in one area, then Egypt based in another area, Greek based in another area, then roman based in another area before the middle ages.---------

    ----between 1000ad and 1999 is a big gap they should have had the age of revolution like the american and French Revolution

    then the cowboyy era in one area of map and the Industrial revolution/age of enlightmentthen a ww1 and ww2 and a cold war era
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    they could have added 75,000 bc like assassins creed. zeal was already establish in 12, 000 bc , soething before the kindom rose
