Useless Umbrella

Saw this e-card and just had to laugh. If you live in Charleston (esp downtown), then you know how true this rings. There have been several occasions this year that when it rains, it literally floods. No, i'm not even joking. If you drive a sedan, forget about getting in your car. The rain mixed with the high tide causes the water to rise above car doors and people are wading down the street. Rainboots required. Being one of two people in my office that lives and works downtown, we are the only ones at work for the first few hours on these torrential downpour days. I guess we'll hold down the fort, if we don't all float away...

  2. Hehe. That's a great ecard.

    Where I'm from, when it rains, your umbrella will not make it!!! It will get turned upside down and ripped to shreds within minutes!

    Best wishes from one blogger to another,

  3. My office parking lot floods every time it rains - I have to wade to the office from my car if it's raining. I used to live downtown and my boyfriend always had to pick me up in his big truck if we were going anywhere because my poor Altima would have drowned. :)
