We flooded out, filled the local Zoo with enough water to kill most of the animals.

What's rain? I guess Ohio doesn't have that stuff.

I got caught in 4" of rain in 45 minutes once. I was sitting on a ledge on the side of a mountain on an ATV hoping I wasn't going to get washed over the side. It was one of those places where if you got started rolling down the high side you could mail a letter to yourself and pick it up at the bottom of the mountain. For those of you familiar it was on the Hatfield McCoy trail system just outside of Man WV on the Rockhouse Trail. I had on coveralls and boots. It soaked through my coveralls and down into my boots and filled them up with water. Well I guess they didn't have more than an inch of water in them. Being waterproof boots they held the water like a cup. That was some "skeery" stuff right there.
