Nice vid, Bored. Back in the 80's I lived in Lynchburg Virginia when the James River flooded 33 ft above flood stage. We sat on the bbridge drinking beer watching everything you could imagine floot bye, including some train tank cars. Powerful example of mother nature when she dumps on us.

Seen this the other day. Got a few floods going on here in Australia at the moment. Heard the flood water was covering the same amount or land as france and germany put together, or "twice the size of Texas", and this was about a week ago, got worse after that.

Im not sure why the guy in the vid locked his hubs in..lol. think he would have drove out fine with just 2wd.

Damn, nice video. Moving water has some serious power. There will be lots of cheap used cars for sale in a few months, and I don't want one!

Re: flash flood video

I like at the end of the video where it looked like mother nature played dominoes with everyones cars. I am also surprised more people didn't try and move their cars. I know that flood probably happened pretty quick but one guy moved his truck I am sure others had the time. Don't buy a used car in that area.

Re: flash flood video

and then that hammerhead stating that "he's letting the air out of his tires".... yeah, let's discuss the benefits of doing so.

Another member of that gaggle of women asked "should we move our cars to the front of the building?" No way dude, just leave it there and get the free wash/detailing, it'll be great.

Re: flash flood video

yeah unfortunately I am at work on my stupid computer that is currently lacking sound, so I didn't get the additional fun of listening to them talk about moving their cars, with the rushing water slowly building up I think that would have been the first thing I did.

Blue Oyster Cult - Godzilla

Lyrics:
With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down

Helpless people on a subway train
Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town

Oh no, they say hes got to go
Go go Godzilla, yeah
Oh no, there goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla, yeah

Rinji news o moshiagemasu!
Rinji news o moshiagemasu!
Godzilla ga ginza hoomen e mukatte imasu!
Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai!
Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai!

Oh no, they say hes got to go
Go go Godzilla, yeah
Oh no, there goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla, yeah

History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of men
Godzilla!
