Especially the way those baskets spin around... I'm just surprised we haven't seen anyone throw up in it. ;~D
Isn't that the truth!! I'd have to keep my eyes shut tight to avoid that unpleasantness!
Makes me queasy thinking about it.
I'm pretty sure I'd go hysterical if I was on a roof like that...with all that water around, no telling when it was going to stop rising and it being pitch black at night...
Yah know... after I watched a family pulled off some roof yesterday morning by that CG helo... there were a couple of younger teen-aged black girls and what I suppose was their somewhat older brother (maybe 17, 18). I saw him look up at the coastie on his roof, then watching all around and up at the helo as he was hoisted out of there... and I thought:
That kid is going to join the Coast Guard. He's hooked, and maybe the sisters too. But he's a goner. You could see it in him.
I dunno, but I thought it was really neat.
