From the Vault: Flood Armageddon

It was on this day last year when I was wrapping up the 7 pm session only to see Mr. Jabara pull in the parking lot to pick up Tyler. I had not left the gym all afternoon, so I did not see the carnage outside. Mr. Jabara told me to look down the street and I saw this...

So Jay and I were left to walk home by ourselves and play our traditional game of HORSE in the downpour only to see Murley of all people running around like a stranded hound dog looking for a home.

It was quite an interesting day and if it wasn't for the kind actions of myself and Jay, Murley probably would have been washed away by the flood. Post your favorite flood memory to comments.

My 15 minute drive home took over 3 hours

I got stranded at my parent's house which wouldn't have been a big deal except they have cats and i was having an allergy test done next day which meant I almost died from allergies. At ten pm, I decided to make a break for it and try to get to Clinton twp. Didn't happen. I almost suffocated from all the cat hair.

I have no bad memories of this. I sat in the comfort of my apartment and had a relaxing evening. Good times...

Well done Sabal

My memories... 5.5 hour ride home, sitting stationary for an hour on I75, buying McDonalds that I threw away because I had to use the bathroom so bad, seeing some very interesting neighborhoods in Highland Park, eating cold (but still good) steak, singing happy birthday to myself at like 11pm with Nicole in attendance, seeing Nicole's neighborhood and knowing we got off lucky and thanking god that I purchased a tall truck the previous month. Good times.

Mr. Carey, we used to practice in that Highland Park area for Marygrove. It was not a great area.
