our town is under a flash flood watch. Luckily our house in on the upper, higher ground area of the town. I was picking up supper when I heard it on the radio, and then the route I usually take home had huuuuge puddles accumulating. Another 30 mintues of rain and the road will be impassable in a car. We live 3 miles north of the area where the stationary front is. I't sbeen raining here since 4pm.

flash flood warning for: the island of maui in maui county Until 1000 pm hst At 654 pm hst, radar showed heavy rain near wailea, or about 12 miles south of kahului. The area of heavy rain was nearly stationary. Additional very heavy rain was just offshore of the leeward coast of maui, and will move onshore between 730 pm and 900 pm. As the heavy rain overspreads much of the eastern half of maui, an additional 1 to 3 inches of rain is possible. Other locations in the warning include but are not limited to maalaea, kihei, waikapu, haiku, pauwela, paia, keanae, makawao, haliimaile, pukalani, nahiku, hana, hamoa, kipahulu and kaupo. This flash flood warning replaces the flood advisory that was in effect for the island of maui in maui county. Move to higher ground now. Stay away from streams and low lying areas prone to flooding. Be especially cautious since it is harder to see flash flooding in the dark. Avoid travel. Do not try to cross fast flowing or rising water in your vehicle or on foot. The water may be too deep to cross safely. Turn around, don/t drown. Report flooding to police or civil defense officials for relay to the national weather service. This flash flood warning may need to be extended beyond 1000 pm hst if flash flooding conditions persist. Lat, lon 2077 15665 2052 15622 2074 15589 2107 15629

zippoz "in times of widespread chaos and confusion, it has been the duty of more advanced human beings - artists, scientists, clowns, and philosophers - to create order. In such times as ours however, when there is too much order, too much m management, too much programming and control, it becomes the duty of superior men and women and women to fling their favorite monkey wrenches into the machinery. To relieve the repression of the human spirit, they must sow doubt and disruption" "People do it every day, they talk to themselves ... they see themselves as they'd like to be, they don't have the courage you have, to just run with it."

Floods suck, I've seen a couple of those in my days. It's good to be high up...I hate when I have to use a wet vac because the whole basement is flooded
