What the ____ is up with all the rain in the Midwest?

We Ohioans tend to go on about the weather in the Buckeye State but dang man its rained like 3 weeks straight.

I feel this is a bit excessive, and I knew it was getting serious when I couldn't buy lumber at any of the local Lowe's and Home Depots... Apparently some dewd named Noah has put in some big orders for building materials...

There is also a rumor going around that some alien race is terraforming the Earth to support Merpeople...

Also a møøse once bit my sister...

You said it before I did. LOL.

[laplata]

Nah, some libs are saying it’s due to Globull Warming.

[Mad Dawgg]

Oh yeah AND my Internet has went out for a time three days straight now. And the techs tell me it is because water is getting into junctions and such.

So... if this rain keeps up we may lose the INTERNET!!!

So let the Pings commence...

For when the INTERNET goes down and quits working completely (Sorta like Congress only funner)

I've created a FRee Republic Emergency Ping list (as suggested by mitch5501 ) called:

The "The INTERNET isn't working" ping list:

IF you would like "ON' or "OFF the list FReep Mail me OR ping me in a thread with your request. This will not be a High Volume Ping list (Well at least we hope the INTERNET doesn't quit working frequently)

"So let it be written. So let it be done."

The List: mitch5501; Rocky; Pajamajan; Mad Dawgg; hoosiermama; SE Mom; null and void; BenLurkin; bigheadfred; redhead; berdie; Old Sarge; wyokostur; GeronL; TheOldLady; ducttape45; Gefn; IYellAtMyTV; Redcitizen; LonePalm; garandgal; Fiddlstix; bt_dooftlook; liberalh8ter; Mercier; Truth29; PA Engineer; citizen; bleach; Greetings_Puny_Humans; TangoLimaSierra; Chickensoup; rexiesmom; FourtySeven; RinaseaofDs; RikaStrom; ozarkgirl; Grimmy; Jet Jaguar; silverleaf

Somehow, Some way, it is the fault of the Amish.

[Mad Dawgg]

I await with great anticipation...

Look for California Dims to push for inclement redistribution.

Yea — wish someone could build a water pipeline from Ohio to CA to drain some of our excess. Maybe Tom Selleck wouldn’t have to steal water!

I've been looking around the interweb and this is what it kind of looks like:

Creepy.

[Irish Queen]

We have been having a lot of summer storms with flash floods in our area of Northern Nevada.

[central_va]

It’s gloBULL climate warming change.

[MrB]

Ironic.

At the end of that story was God’s promise to never flood the earth again,
and people are referring to that story with regard to the rains.
Yeah, this is more rain than I’ve ever seen in any season in my lifetime.

[Mad Dawgg]

No doubt about it that is definitive proof of extraterrestrial life you have there. I would burn it before it spreads or you could go all Ripley on its ass to be sure...

[Salamander]

That thing is called “Witch’s Butter”.

Even creepier, IMO.

Now I’m bummed that it’s currently dehydrated and not able to pose for a nice glamour shot.

At this point, given its vulnerable state, I can just go out and kick it off the cellar door.

:D

The “Perfect Summer” here in Wisconsin. Weather does that.

[morans14]

4.5” in Normal,IL yesterday. Bright side...my lawn is still green in July.

[Darksheare]

Slime mold!
Lovely stuff.
See it in the woods all the time.
Really creepy looking too.

[FourtySeven]

It’s quite fitting that Rameses introduces such news at this time. Wasn’t torrential rain one of the plagues?

No wait, that was used to destroy the world one time.

Still, Yul Brynner seems appropriate. Thanks!

[FourtySeven]

Oh, that’s just the invasion of an alien life form. It’s been known for a few years now. Surely you knew, it was right next to the news of Kim Kardashian’s latest butt implant in the Enquirer....and they never lie.

They’re on the Internet!

Don’t worry. It will freeze soon with the onset of the mini ice age. We can always string poles on top of the glaciers.
