Forecaster Franklin

I have a high-clearance Explorer (an ancient one) - I just put one set of wheels on the sidewalk and DRIVE! Sometimes though I wish for my even more ancient Toyota Land Cruiser ute - it had a waterproof cover on the distributor cap and I never managed to stall it out no matter where we went (did manage to need the winch a couple times though). But it had no room for babies, so we had to sell it. . . now I want it back < sob > ;-)

Our main road along the river through Vinings always goes underwater when we have a big rain. There are some houses that some fool contractor built in the flood plain on artificially graded hills (we call them the "Vinings Indian Mounds") and the guy closest to the river has a john boat in his back yard, tied up to the downspout. I didn't go down to see, but I'm sure the john boat was floating this time! I understand that the folks over on Woodward Way got socked really bad though.
