He's not floating. Look at the kayak. It's sitting on the pavement and tipping to the side.

Your buddy should be saying "Let's go to the house across the street"

It rained like this a few years back here in Rexburg. College kid was kayaking and the police gave him a ticket.

Hello from the Treme! Be safe out there
firesidefire
Thanks. Had minor water damage in our house, lost a futon but other than that all good. How'd y'all make out?
KnowerOfKnothing
Might be a stupid question but what do people do with their cars during shit like this?
fiIthy

arebenji
a) good to make light of a tough situation. b) you're going to need a bigger boat. c) NOAH ARK STYLE BOARDING RULES, ONLY TWO MAY REMAIN.

Think I should start building an Ark.
heythatsmymiata
All this flooding recently is making me nervous about lowering my car. I'mma still it, tho.

As a New Orleans resident, do you guys think State Farm will let me as a kayak as a second vehicle on my insurance?
firesidefire
Not sure. But now after finding out today that 8 of the drainage pumps weren't working I'm going to end up getting one any way.
kyrosyrup821
Agreed. I read an article that updated the number to 14 pumping stations that were not working. (Nola.com Has some interesting updates.)

You mean the fat chicks

They were Airbnbing and ended up swimming in that skanky water. They're all yours
EvilKam
That's both hilarious, and tragic. Floods kinda suck.

In Port-Au-Prince when it's especially rainy the poor neighborhoods are flooded with untreated sewage.
rosalynne95
Port-au-prince? More like port-au-potty amiright
EvilKam
That was a cheap and lazy pun... but it made me chuckle... so take an upvote.

I think i heard that story air.

Based on global warming, I'd say move inland
PorneliusHubertII
It floods in the Midwest too.
periwinklepanda
Just not too close fault lines, volcanos, or tornados. Not sure what's left though...
BiteTheHandsThatThieve
I hope the inland empire is inland enough. Or I'm fucked.
