The freight train noise winds are terrifying enough. I live in Michigan. We don't get hurricanes, earthquakes, mudslides, tsunamis, forest fires, or volcanoes. We get snow storms which you call blizzards and an occasional tornado. Our biggest fears is Asian carp, and government spending. Vote for Romney. Repeal the nightmares. |

The mountain is still there that's what's important. Do you need anything? I am coming up to Lime Rock vintage festival for next few days, and I have a spare generator, my ups did fine with the amount of time we lost electric here. about 330k of other long island residents are not so happy with electric flow If there is anything I can do let me know, will be leaving 5:30 on friday morning and could head to you friday evening after we qualify |

The worst flood in the memory of many people currently alive was in 1973 and it wasn't anywhere as bad as this. That would have been Hurricanne Agnes, right? I don't think so since the 1973 flood was in April, April 1 if memory serves. Some april fool! I remember Agnes, although I was a youngster - some serious flooding along the Delaware, and I presume elsewhere as well. Too bad we don't get snow Hurricaines. Those would be loads of fun. ayup! The worst on record was 1927 which is counted as the hundred year event. When all is cleared, I bet we came very close to matching that event. I know we did in Ludlow since I've been doing some flood plain work there and I know where the 1927 line was and it was met. |

No, we're fine. We practiced the 7 p's adequately and the fact that we are essentially on an island, we are quite untouched though the same can't be said of several neighbors. Actually it's quite amazing. If you only looked at my house including the river behind you would never know we had a storm much less a 100 year storm event. |

Actually, we do have mountains to speak of: Mt Trashmore, Boyne Mountain, Crystal Mountain, Schuss Mountain, Mt Bohemia, Pine Mountain, The Porcupine Mountains, the Huron Mountains, etc. The thing is, most are just mountains "to speak of". Calling them mountains doesn't make it so. Although the Porkies and the Hurons are big enough to qualify as mountains - small mountains, but mountains nonetheless. //Walt |

Now that's what I'd call a mountain. //Walt If I told ya that I was kidnapped by space aliens and went to a planet where there was mountains that made Olympus Mons look like a pimple ya just wouldn't believe me. Besides, there's no snow on Olympus Mons. Vote for Romney. Repeal the nightmares. |
