As you can see it is raining pretty hard in SE texas right now (June 16th) But earlier I went to my lifeguarding job and it wasnt raining to hard at all. Then it all hit!
The pool overflowed and my boss called and told me I could go home, but my cousin, who works with me, had a spyder eclipse GT convertible and I didn't want to see her try to get through our neighborhood. So she took her car down to my garage and parked it. BTW our neighborhood floods the worst out of our city and many cars stall out. But as I look out of the front door of the pool I see a Lincoln spinning its tires in the ditch. So being the good samaritan I am..haha, I went to go see if I could give them a ride or something. I didn't have a tow strap w/ me so thats what I asked and I noticed the water was rising I told them I would go home and get a tow strap since it was only down the road. So I went and as I was going through the water in the street, the water was up to the middle of the bronc between the 2 tires. and when I went through a slope water went all the way up to my spare tire cover!! But not inside. Well anyway I brought back the tow strap and hooked up and just as he told me to go ahead and pull up, I said "WAIT" I got out my camera and snapped a picture. (It was not a digital so ill have to get it developed later.) and then pulled him out w/ ease. I love my bronc.
Then he gave his thanks, I was surprised he didnt give me money (lincoln and all) but I really didnt care.
So I went back to the pool and was telling my cousin that we are about to leave. As we were about to leave a black truck pulled up and it was the guy I pulled out and he told me to write my name and number down on a paper he had. I wonder why????
But it was a crazy experience..water ranged from an inch in some places to 2 feet. Im glad no water got in my interior but it did get passed my echo tips when i went through a slope or two.
I cant wait to get those pics developed!!!!! ILl post them when I can
