Why would schools be closed?????


St Georges Island always floods when it rains a lot. What else is new???? Folks who live on the island should already have plans in place for situations they know will happen.

maybe it is too late in life for you to worry about going back to school, you're a lost cause.

Weatherbug is popping up Alerts left and right today. First flood warnings and now wind advisories.

There is no evidence that entitlement programs lead to dependence on the government.

Raven, why should we bail out people who choose to live in a flood zone? If they're too stupid to help themselves, we should just let them drown.

I seen this on the news Virginia is always ahead of the game. I guess they will be filling sand bags most of the day.:popcorn:

I think the thread title is supposed to be something like:
Are schools open as emergency shelters.

Now warnings as this storm is blowing the water up the bay slowing the run off down the bay. Guess who gets flooded?
I sure as hell would not expect sympathy, but my flood insurance would be paid up and I would be asking where to go to ride the storm out, right about now too.
Head for the hills! Hills halfway house, for a beer that is....

RICHMOND, Va. - Virginia's governor declared a state of emergency Wednesday as unrelenting rain from the remnants of a tropical storm soaked the state, while officials in North Carolina braced for another day of heavy rain.

Gov. Tim Kaine's declaration mobilizes state agencies to prepare for the threat of flooding over a wide swath of Virginia.

The National Weather Service forecasts 3 to 8 inches through Friday morning for parts of Virginia as the remains of Tropical Storm Ida, which was once a hurricane, crawl across the state. Old Dominion University in Norfolk canceled classes Thursday

Maryland Governor may follow soon!

As soon as he figures out how to tax it.

Uh, yeah. You do realize that there is a huge runoff in that area, right?

This this area has been a problem for years. But no one knows how to fix it.
But the are still building in that area like the run off from the new huge storage buildings they just built.

That's a Wawa and they don't sell beer.

I wonder how the school buses are going to drop the kids off that live on the island?:confused:

Dr. Martirano has a system in place with the school bus drivers who are also watermen. They are lining up all the Boston Whalers they can find to get the kids from the mainroad to their bus stops. :yay:

I wonder how the school buses are going to drop the kids off that live on the island?:confused:Most of the kids know to bring their kayaks or canoes on rain days. :duh:

I suppose all this rain is funny to some people. I for one am unable to get back to my house now due to high water on the roads.

I don't think it's funny im sure its a pain for you and it's going to get even worser when the tide comes in.

I'm going to fight the gas lines to get premium gas for my handy, dandy Stihl
chain saw from Milt's. Ya See, I already have a big oak down my house and waiting for more. LOL
Then I will find out about beer.

I'm leaving work soon to avoid the same thing. The yard was flooded when I left this morning and the water was really high at the little bridge on my road. Wanna get home before I can't. :jameo:

I don't have that luxury of leaving early. I will probably get a hotel room for the night....yipee. Pixiegirl drive safe.

What high school did you go to? Did you graduate?

Old school the school of hard knox!:buddies:

Apparently.

It's not funny but like the tide, tropical storms and huricanses are a fact of life on the east coast. With them comes rain and wind - lots of both.
Nothing that is happening is a suprise, it's not new.

Deal with it.


BTW, feel free to ##### when the power goes out as falling trees take down power lines (that will take days if not weeks to repair).

What part of flat iron is flooded? What time did you try to go through?

What part of flat iron is flooded?

The part with the water on it. :smile:

Flat Iron has the usual trouble spots near the Knotts place. Drayden Road bottom of Booths Hill, creek is over the road. In Great Mills the water is just below the bridge. I have not verified these just got a couple of phone calls.

oh so you might be able to make it home after all.

Not according to what I have been told the creek over the road is the problem, no way around that. One way in one way out.

Is schools closed for shelters

:killingme

High tide was @ 1044 so it should be on it's way out now.(FWIW) Next high around 2300, that one may be more problematic.

Yea the school board now is trying to figure out how to get the kids home safely on most of the roads. With the bus drivers we had lately I'm going to get my kids.:coffee:

Hope the new bridge on Chancellors doesn't get flooded out.

Don't be down on all bus drivers because of the actions of one or two. The kids will be fine coming home on the bus.

My Kid is home. But there are kids on a bus Queentree Road tree across roadway bus can't move until the tree is removed.

Hope the new bridge on Chancellors doesn't get flooded out.

It has gathered an inch or two on top, becuase the "working" road surface is that much lower than the drains. But it certainly wont be flooded from below. Heck, the roadways 15 feet higher than the old one, and each of the two pathways for water is maybe 3 to 4 times larger than the old pipe.

:killingme

btw raven your signature sucks... which explains the need for a grammer lesson and the concerns that big brother should be doing more to take care of the fools that build in flood plains.

I know several families that live on "the island", have for a long time and they know the risk. While dealing with it is a #####, they do so without asking for the government to help because they have made the decision that living there is worth the price of the occaisional flood.

Something people living in coastal areas have done for centuries.
