    Flooding Content.

    This is my road. The part that sucks, is that it doesn't look that bad... But the water is actually about 1 - 1.5 feet deep. :(


    My neighbors Jeep is parked higher than the road. The water is to the rim.


    OMG, my BMW is going to have to double as a boat soon!


    Shocker.

      I've read about H2O.

      Never seen it though.

      :P

      So, I'm guessing you are carpooling with someone with ground clearance to get to work?

        Haha, naaaaaaaaaah. I'm just gonna haul ass through it. :woowoo:


        Actually there's a back way out of the complex so that I don't have to drive through the REALLY deep part. If I go that way, it only goes up to about 2 inches under my doors. :)

        The IS front lip works well as a water plow.

                I don't have the full size of it any more. :( I wish I did. I accidentally deleted the folder that it was in. But here is 3 of the photos together. It sucks, because I did it in about 30 seconds.

                      i guess the invention we like to call a drain didn't make it to your part of washington? I think you should go clean the leaves off the drain. Same thing happens to the neighborhoods around here if they don't sweep off the gutters before a big rain.

                          Haha... I grew up in Texas. THIS is nothing for flooding I've seen. It just sucks, because it means I have to drive through 1 - 1.5 feet of water to get out of my parking space.

                            Rushing deep water is fun until water comes out of your shifter, then you have a pool about 2-3 inches deep on each side of your transmission tunnel.

                            Trust me on that one, unless you'd like to find out yourself... wet carpet never smells the same

                              Yikes, that's some DEEP water!!
                              We're getting some of that too. It just finally stopped raining after like 3 days of nonstop... My yard is ok, but down the road.. some houses have pools in the front yard....
