It's insane, I had college today but I couldn't because my street was under 2 ft of water. It's insane. Our public schools are closed tomorrow and probably friday since the roads are insanely flooded.. yeah. I just hope that they cancelled my classes today.

There was a earthquake out in the Gulf Of Mexico today and we felt the ground shook all the way to Florida.

It was sewer water...
People's toilets were overflowing into their basements and stuff. So I don't think you'd want to swim in it..

I wrote a blog with pictures and stuff on myspace: http://blog.myspace.com/jumper_jax
My profile is private though, but I'm pretty sure I have most of you on my FL anyways.
They declared my area a disaster area and it's estimated that there is over $5 mil in damages, and over 1000 homes were damaged... and these are small towns... My town is about 19,000 people and the other probably 25,000. If that. We've lost a lot of population actually.
