I saw coverage of this on my local news. The film footage came from someone's cell phone, where THREE PEOPLE (including the person shooting the footage) were standing close to the water watching it, and many other things, rush by. I sat there in shock of how stupid these people were.

I live in an area where this happens often. There's a town a couple counties over in which, if the rain is more than an inch in an hour or two, the town floods. I've driven by a nearby highway where the river that floods the town all the time is just about to crest its banks, but have never been there when it's flooded.

It's become repetitive around here. "Two inches of rain tomorrow? Everyone in Prospect, start bailing now."

The people there know. When the water rises, GET THE FUCK OUT.

Fforde is one of the great satirists, like Douglas Adams. Even bad jokes are funny with those guys.

They're running out of other people's faces. Appetites must be fed. Remember, the Peach President is greedy, greedy, greedy for America!

Aha! I see your 50 boxes of books and raise you another six boxes of art supplies with tags still on many of them!

I hear you, I have left trails of books behind, that I shared with the local book lovers every time I've moved.

I love it when they turn on each other! They deserve each other, the rest of us, not so much.
