Wet Texting

[peristaltor]

It snowed, then it rained. They mix. Here's a recent cell phone text exchange from yesterday.

Me: You staying dry?

Friend (whose house sits on a tidal estuary island): So far.

Me: (who thought he was at work, not at home): And you're still there? Is the road covered?

Friend: Not quite yet. Just some side puddles so far. Already have hotel room to go when sherriff says to go.

Me: The tide starts to rise after 2126. It peaks at 512 am. 15 foot difference.

Friend: Thanks! That's info i did not consider.

I guess they got the dike under some control.

Friend: High tide flooded garage and carport by an inch.

Go drainage.
