Driving rain
After an all-day drive through several of the worst downpours I've ever driven through, here I am in Ann Arbor, Michigan. While the flooding is further south, the ferocity of the rain I drove through (it could not possibly come down harder or faster) gave me a glimpse of what people are experiencing in Iowa and Missouri. Right now, though, there's no rain and the sun is shining. (I'll enjoy it while I can, and I won't bother looking at the extended weather forecast....) Limited connectivity here, and even more limited time, so that's it for now! MORE: One last thing. I briefly turned on the hotel television, and what movie do you think they're showing? Hard Rain (starring Christian Slater, Betty White, and Morgan Freeman) a thriller set during heavy rain which triggered "a massive flood started by a dam accident in a small town." Naturally, the town is underwater, people can only get around by boats, etc. Quite enjoyable. Rather like a cruise ship screening "Titanic" during a crisis, doncha think? Should I have brought a boat? posted by Eric on 06.14.08 at 09:14 AM

"Should I have brought a boat?" Did you bring hip waders. dre · June 14, 2008 07:13 PM "Should I have brought a boat?" That depends, eric. Did you have a friend willing to lend you one, and the wallet to pay for the gas to tow it to the midwest... through driving rain, and at risk of loss of someone else's property...not to mention potential loss of your own life dragging that trailer behind you? Thought not, but you never know. Personally? I might suggest listening to a weatherman before heading out. No, not THAT weatherman! Hell, Bill Ayers is way too busy these days, though Glenn "Hurricane" Schwartz stands at the ready. May he guide you safely home. Penny · June 15, 2008 10:05 PM Post a comment

If you do have a boat, bring it on down to Iowa City. I'm going to need it to get to my apartment (and the river hasn't even crested yet.)
