Neighbors out for a ride in TS Fay
Looks like fun, but after 20+ inches of rain Tropical Storm Fay has donated my town in the last 24 hours, I decided to prep for the next 10 inches predicted to fall before it's over. Lot's of roads here closed, National Guard is running around picking up people in flooded neighborhoods (fortunately not mine).
Oh, and local Government has warned against playing in back up sewage water. lol... I got enough shots when I was deployed, I'll stay inside and stay dry today.
Either way, people have been playing in it all day, but I thought it was cool that they were out riding in 40MPH winds and figured I'd share.

Bike ≠ Car ≠ Ped.
The good thing about riding bikes through flooded streets is that they don't suffer hydrolock like cars do when they ingest water through the engine's intake.
The last time I rode through deep water was when the remnants of Hurricane Isabel came through:
