kallend 2,184 #1 February 23, 2005 Average annual rainfall in London is 24 inches. LA has topped that already this season.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CornishChris 5 #2 February 23, 2005 But we like to have ours in one continual slow drizzle that lasts for 10 months! CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most people don't believe there are many palm trees in the south of England, from Kent to Cornwall.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

They're there, but they don't particularly dominate. Hell, you can grow palm trees in Ireland! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,132 #5 February 23, 2005 >SoCal rainier than London! At least the frogs (the amphibious types) like it here now. They're making a racket in the back yard. (Yes it's still raining.) It's creepy that we're almost at the record and the rainy season has another month to go. >Most people don't believe there are many palm trees in the south of England, from Kent to Cornwall. We used to have a lot of them too. Before they all slid away that is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So far, I'm out part of a back yard (which incidently now happens to be someone else's front yard 100 feet below my house); brand new tire and rim (thanks to a friendly pot hole).

Amazon 7 #7 February 23, 2005 QuoteThey're there, but they don't particularly dominate. Hell, you can grow palm trees in Ireland! Heck we have them around Seattle....They just do not grow fast enough to take over from the Douglas Firs, Western Hemlocks, Sitka Spruce, and Western Red Cedar....all of which can grow to over 200 ft tall. Our DZ is surrounded by some BIG trees...not the place for practicing tree landings. without a surplus PLD ( Personal Lowering Device) I used to keep one of those mounted in my paraglider harness.....just in case.

Shotgun 1 #8 February 23, 2005 QuoteAt least the frogs (the amphibious types) like it here now. I'm loving the frogs! We have a ton of them, and they make the most amazing sound outside my window... And we have a bunch of tadpoles in our pseudo-pond in the back yard... They are so cool.

How horrible for you! I hope the insurance will take care of it at least! Good luck Frenchy. I hope it doesn't get worse or take your actual house!

Pinal county (where Eloy is situated) did escape - we had our bad rain last night when everyone was in sleepy land.
