A lot of rain=Floating trailer home

[jodom15sc]

Well here in Mid TN we got probably the most rain in god knows when. But anyways I-24 got shut down we lots of side roads being washed out, figured share a few photos, sorry first 2 are off tv.

Bad photo but look close enough, that big black square blob is a trailer home that floated up onto the interstate

eh, put some swampers on that bus and it would have been fun haha

While i was at work i looked at the road and noticed the 5/6 foot drop of the other side of the road was starting to fill and after 4/5 hours it ended up turning into a lake. I feel bad for all houses and business on that side of the road because they all got flooded out....we even have FEMA coming out next few days.

BEFORE...sorry its a chevy, but ill try to snap a different before pic once the water goes away. But notice all the trees and green to the right.

after 1.

after 2. Flooded a publix, thats a loading dock so not only the 5 foot drop off the road and publix but also the extra 5ish feet upto a loading dock.

we got a few months worth of rain in a matter of days

man, a motor home floating on the highway, thats crazy!

Yea I saw all that on the news yesterday. It looks pretty crazy. Where I live there is no chance of major flooding because it's very hilly. I'm under a flash flood watch until Tuesday 2am. I wouldn't mind seeing some rain.

Man we need rain up here but not like that! March was the first one on record with no snow and only had .67" of rain for the whole month. There have really been some crazy weather patterns in the last 18 months.

Its still raining here.
You wouldn't believe the damage it has done or the stupid people riding around in it!
There is one stretch of I-40 with over 150 stalled cars and tractor trailers.

Just fill up that wasted space between your body and frame with some floatation devices. Like buoys or water wings you wore as a kid.

i think ima do that when i rebuild my ranger! seriously, i will! fill the areas with that exapnding foam that they use on windows, take black trash bags, fill it with the stuff, stuff the bags in hollowed areas, let the foam expand and there u go, just pull the molded trash bag out when need to replace!

Just take some pontoons from a larger pontoon boat and weld some crossmembers between them then jack the ranger up and set it on the crossmembers, secur eit real well and add paddle tires to your rear wheels. Other wise get one of those swamp motors with the 6 ft extenion to the prop and mount it to your tailgat. LOL

That reminds me of that episode of red green where he builds the paddle boat with a bunch of old bottle, a couple pallets, and an aerostar. I can't find the clip though .

Rep to anyone who can find it for me!!
