basically its like if you played we are number one but every time he says the word one another ten inches of rain falls on houston

Thank you for putting this in terms I understand. I didn't understand the tragedy behind this flooding, but this made me stop and evaluate. Thinking about Robbie Rotten in all that rain made me look at what really was happening. What amazing talent.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

I mean if you need to see how bad it is. This is the highway into Houston.

flooding is often harder on the city than the hurricane, but I know that it doesn't necessarily turn you into an underwater ruin for the rest of time. Cities can move past it, and rebuild.

The term "hundred year storm" is used very stupidly, it means "1% chance of happening any given year", which is a lot less than actually happening every 100 years.

Over the course of a 30-year mortgage, a house in a 100-year floodplain has a 26 percent chance of being inundated at least once.1

I SCORED 85% ON A QUIZ ABOUT MONDAY NIGHT RAW AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS LOUSY TEXT

#bastionboogerbrigade
This reminds me of this quote from an old UFC thread on these gay, dead forums:

Work Friend Keven posted:

INTERIOR, A PARTY, NIGHT

CONOR MCGREGOR stands in the center of a circle of adoring fans, holding his new championship - the Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour Austin trophy.

MCGREGOR:
Look what I did! Look what I fookin Dreamed into reality! The first five sport champion! I'm the greatest of all time!

The crowd CHEERS wildly and everyone does the matrix 2 techno dance, except everyone is ORANGE and has BAD POSTURE instead of being MULTICULTURAL PEASANTS.

CUT TO:

EXTERIOR, A FIELD, NIGHT.

It's RAINING. A half dozen MAGIC THE GATHERING PROS are facing off against a shadowy figure. The figure quickly dispatches each in a short, one sided fight. A strike of lightning suddenly illuminates the field and we see the figure clearly. It's JOSE ALDO. He shuffles his Magic The Gathering deck before throwing it on the defeated body of the nearest MAGIC PRO.

ALDO:
My horny blood sings, Conor. I'm close this time. Run all you like, I'll see you soon.

The lighting flashes a second time, striking dangerously close to ALDO. In the earie half light, we see that he's wearing the UFC 145 interim belt, the UFC 155 interim belt, the WBA 151 interim belt, the Formula 1 Interim belt, and now he reaches down and lifts from the body of a MAGIC PRO - the Magic The Gathering Pro Tour Interim Championship.
