The flooding in Charleston was exciting for everyone involved, whether he or she was really in trouble, or just along for the ride -- literally. People definitely made the best of the situation by wakeboarding, surfing and tubing through the flood water. I personally stayed inside for the five major flood days, living vicariously through those venturing through the storm.
1) I can see the ground, it's not too bad. Phew, that means I can go to CVS and get one of those battery-powered phone chargers in case the power goes out. #phoneaddict
2) I can't see the ground. Where's my falling star that I caught and put in my pocket? I could use you right now. #whentheprincessdiariesfailsyou
3) I better not trip and fall into a pool of water, gas residue, bacteria, dirt and sewage water. #charlestonshuffletimes5
4) I better not get splashed by people driving through the water, gas residue, bacteria, dirt and sewage water. #shower
5) If I get covered in water, gas residue, bacteria, dirt and sewage water, I will be rinsing off in a cold shower because our pipes are submerged in cold water. #noshowerfordays
6) I really want some Mellow Mushroom. I could probably walk there, no big deal. Never mind, I don't want to get swept into a storm drain like a fellow student of mine. #truestory
7) Well, I guess I should study. #productive
8) Ok, I've studied enough, time to check Facebook. #notproductive
9) Ugh, everyone looks like they're having so much fun out there in their pictures on Facebook! I have no desire to surf through the flood water... But a nice canoe ride would be so scenic. #rowrowrowyourboatgentlydownKingStreet
10) *scream* "There's a huge pool of water in my room!" -- my roommate. Okay, time to say goodbye to everything I own -- except my clothes. I will be taking those in evacuation. And my shoes. #priorities
11) Catastraflood is really a test of survival. I mean, I don't know how I would survive without my 20 days worth of food in the pantry... #college
12) I'm sick of the food in my pantry. Someone said they saw Jimmy John's guys biking around delivering. I feel bad making someone bike in this... #suckstosuck
13) I wish I drove a carboat. #carboat
14) Well, this is nice, my mom has called me more than she usually does. #whenyoureBFFswithyourmom
15) Seriously, red Solo cups in the lake outside my front door? #cofseapartyson
16) This is such a test of character! I love character-building activities! #sororitygirl
17) Yes, I've always wanted to have a view of the water from my porch. #lakeside
18) You feeling strong, my friend? Rain one more time. #imanangryrainvictim
