Waterlogged 2008: The 'Sha

behnnie
Ah the joys of living in Small Town America.

Not the cool, totally-under-water parts of Small Town America, mind you. Just the nearby-to-totally-under-water parts where everything is still soaked and mildewy, but nobody gets to camp out in sports stadiums.

I would *totally* camp out at Miller Park if it came to that. I'm just sayin'...

Whatever that just was aside, my heart absolutely goes out to the people who lost their homes and their livelihoods to the flooding in Central Wisconsin. None of us saw this coming, there's nothing you could've done to stop it, and I'm so sorry that now you're stuck dealing with all this. We've got your backs, CenWi.

Love,

SoWi

    • Liked your live report! It is amazing you can open the window and shot a movie without any interference from the outside environment.

    • Nice report. Very informative. Less is more.

      Thanks behnnie! You're on to something. Keep up the good work.

      This kind of reporting is much closer to reality? I'm not sure if you guys follow the Shanghai Diaries, but we were having a small discussion about this diary style reporting. Check out our thread here:

      Good vibes to there in Waukesha!

      Oh... one more thing. It would be cool if we could somehow find a way to channel this water to areas of the country where there are droughts. Shoot... two months from now, you may even see droughting in the same region. Crazy weather!

      I checked out the Shanghai Diaries-- thanks for the tip. I'm really liking them. :)

      As for channeling the water, I've got a couple o' buckets I'd be happy to fill and ship...

      Ugh! I know! *wails loudly* The room was so brightly lit I didn't think it would be an issue, but by the time I was able to pop the footage onto my computer and see that awful backlighting it was too late to redo it.

      Phooey, as they say. :P

      I've got additional flood footage on my YouTube page (username: behnnie)-- c'mon over and check it out some time. ;D

      Probably! But editing isn't really a forte of mine. :S

      I use the program that came on my computer (Windows Movie Maker) for all of my editing. I only just discovered the "fade" transition option a couple of weeks ago, so I imagine I could probably alter the appearance lighting-wise, but it's a simple program and Lord knows I don't know the half of what it does...

    • Good work, Behnnie--I hope and pray that the flooding recedes soon, and that the folks in Central Wisconsin are able to recover with their usual grace...
