Flood watch - will our sewers work this time?


THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN UPTON NY HAS ISSUED AN

* URBAN FLOOD ADVISORY FOR... SOUTHWESTERN NEW YORK COUNTY IN SOUTHEAST NEW YORK... KINGS COUNTY IN SOUTHEAST NEW YORK... SOUTHERN NASSAU COUNTY IN SOUTHEAST NEW YORK... QUEENS COUNTY IN SOUTHEAST NEW YORK...

* UNTIL 215 PM EDT...

* AT 113 PM EDT...A LINE OF SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS... PRODUCING VERY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL MOVE ACROSS NEW YORK CITY AND WESTERN LONG ISLAND. RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE AS THIS LINE MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. THIS WILL CAUSE URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING IN A VERY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME.

DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. MOST FLOODING DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. TURN AROUND AND FIND ANOTHER ROUTE.

BE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION IF THE FLOODING THREAT INCREASES...OR A WARNING IS ISSUED.

the weather advisory should also warn residents in Queens:

DO NOT FLUSH YOUR TOLIETS DURING THE STORM. YOUR STRAINED INFRASTRUCTURE WILL BE BURDENED ENOUGH AS IS WITHOUT CRAP AND PISS BEING ADDED IN.

"street cocktail" when properly mixed.

Shaken...not stirred please...it bruises the piss.

Bottoms up Joe and Melinda....

I don't think our yacht will look good out there....
nice new sails all soiled yellow and brown.

Better break out the rubber raft and emergency rations!

make sure the rubber duckies aren't yellow, otherwise they'll blend in with the piss and become lost.
