I didn't know anything about the earthquake until today. It sounds like everyone is OK. That's good news.

What I have been watching is the flooding in England. If any of our English members are living in any of the flooded areas I hope all is well with you. It sounds pretty bad.

I second that. What little I've caught on the news about the flooding looks pretty bad.

Yes, the flooding here in England has been dramatic to say the least with a number of people losing their lives as a result.

I'm fortunate not to live in the flood hit area's but have been hit by many of the heavy rain storms. Needless to say it has eventually found it's way into one of the upstairs bedrooms but not in a massive way and it will soon get fixed.

Try living in Scotland.
The weather is crap ALL the time.
We had some decent weather in April, but has rained and been windy every day since-------I'm NOT joking.
Seems we are now entering Autumn (Fall) without any summer ever appearing.
What have we done to the planet??

Some years New England sounds a lot like Scotland. Apparently the new worlders' misnamed it. I've been saying for years now that the reason we live in New England is for those two weeks in June when the weather is perfect!

Glad to hear everyone's OK.

Well I guess if we do get flooded out, the SC is about the right shape to paddle my boat to safety.... :-)

I think Joey talks about Alembic boat oars in his setup post. LOL

So that's what those U shaped thingies on the straplocks are for!

Don't listen to George, we had at least an hour without rain today;-)

Was that 60 minutes all in a row or collectively?

I'll take the rain: They're calling for the next three days in Nashville to be 100 to 105 degrees. I'll be away from the phone, cooking dinner on the sidewalk. Leave a message.

Flash flooding here this AM in the NYC Metro area to go along with the 100% humidity and three-digit (or near) temps.

EWR Airport was under water when I got here this AM. Apparently, this is contagious. Mother Nature is trying to tell us something...look-out Al Gore! LOL!

What's EWR? Is that Newark? Nicely laid out airport. I was at JFK a couple of weeks ago. I think their AC must have been out. It was miserable then and just in the 80s.

Correct. All three major NYC Metro airports plus Teterboro are Port Authority Of NY/NJ facilites (amongst others like the Holland/Lincoln Tunnels, Geo. Washington/Bayonne/Goethals/Outerbridge bridges, PATH railroad etc.) of which I am a 15yr. career-long veteran employee.

The weather here, especially underlined due to my recent trip out west, has been absolutely miserable...near 100F and 90%-plus humidity every day.
