I was 13 at that time! I spent the night at a friend's house and I woke up mid morning as the storms were dumping on the valley. I remember looking south out his sliding glass door seeing the ominous dark clouds and hearing the rumbles of thunder as the storms approached the east side. It rained in torrents! It took my Dad an hour to come pick me up that afternoon as he had to navigate the flooded roads in his little 1987 Hyundai Excel! Charleston and Nellis was a lake!

How about you get the homeless somewhere to go and get them out of the storm sewer? Do you not see a pending disaster?

It says $1.32 for a gallon of gas. They're greedy if they charge that high.
