White water rafting, anyone?

This is what happens when it rains for 11 straight days in a row. A mild mannered babbling brook is transformed into a raging white water adventure with water flowing at around 50-mph. Streets were flooded, houses were under water, cars were submerged, stores were closed and people couldn't stand being cooped up in their houses anymore so they ventured out to take a gander at what the hell was going on with our local streams and tributaries.

This water was flowing so fast and heavy that it washed out a yacht club around 100 yards away and knocked over some docks. Pretty intense. Some other locals decided that it would be a sweet idea to jump off the bridge to see if they could float on the insane current, those idiots were saved by the Coast Guard.

I'll snag you guys a pic of the water in a couple weeks so you can see what it is normally like. This was freakin mental.
Hey, at least it isn't going to rain tomorrow. Just 50 MPH winds! Niiiiiice.
