Yeah, I looked up the recent rainfall in S. Carolina with all the flooding, and at most 15 inches in a day. And that was up to the rooftops in some places. 6 feet would be epic, but I'm sure that was a misprint. If not, I imagine that's the last of the Philippines.

The reason is oil/gas drilling. Suddenly this sort of stuff is important. |

Even in that nbc report they say locally 20-40 inches. No idea how they got 6 feet. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 217 Posts: 22944 | I guess this could be self-defense, but it seems pretty suspect. Hell I suppose I could justify gunning down quite a few dogs just on suspicion that they were threatening. http://billingsgazette.com/news/local/retired-military-k-who-served-in-iraq-shot-killed-in/article_1ec0d928-fc7f-5565-9152-e174e388f38b.html "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |

If it is true that the dogs were allowed to roam around in packs, all bets are off. Could be you'd have to shoot. The behavior of dogs in packs changes what they are. Allowing it is third world stuff anyway. I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

Yeah, you realize that's a joke site, like The Onion, right? If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
