Dear, I truly wish I could do that. Though we always have fun on our monthly family night, this was fun at a huge expense. Been downstairs now for a few hours and have only dented about 1/16th of the basement. There is at least 10k worth of damage. We lost both dryers and washers, chest freezers, dehumidifiers, stereo system, and much much more.

And, oddly enough, did you know there was a similar storm a number of years back in Appleton? Manhole covers flying every which way... in fact, at the time, my step-father was working pizza delivery, and one of the covers decided to spring up right underneath his car. Fun times were had by all. He was all right, but his car... not so much.
Kinda glad it didn't get that bad up here in Green Bay, but it looks like there's one heading for us right now. And, as my step-father in years gone by, I'm in pizza delivery. It's going to be a fun time, especially since it seems like Milwaukee drivers tend to migrate to other big cities when it rains, if you get my meaning. |
Yes the manhole thing was beyond freaky. I didn't know that happened up there years ago but I am glad that we could avoid them and not suffer your step-father's fate! I could not imagine the shock of getting blasted by one, it would be like a freakin sci-fi movie!
