Sooo yeah my town had some flash flooding from a big storm. No big deal since it just made my yard all mooshy and stuff for a while. However several other peoples homes were flooded which I have to be thankfull it DID flood one of my neighbors homes. I know it sounds awefull of me to say that but since his home was flooded he decided to drive around the area and check out the damage everywhere else. I get a knock at my door at about 4 AM and when I anwer the door the first thing that goes through my head is "tsk someone needs the phone or somethi...WTF is that orange light outside...some kind of emergency vehicle?" And when I open the door this dude says to me "Your tree is on fire!" (I dont have any trees lol) I look outside and lo and behold my next door neighbors tree is on fire and the power lines are screwy. The guy says to me "You may need to evacuate! I have already call 911.". Well I knew better then that so instead I ran in and started unpluging all of the electronics like the computers and tvs and of course video game systems. I had just finished unpluging a computer when BOOOM! the transformoer exploded and there was a black out....All was fine for the most part since the fire put itself out in less then 5 minutes. However I forgot to unplug my stereo...it is dead now. That thing was my birthday present when I was 13 and it has served me well for many years. Now I have like 400 cds and nothing to listen to them with... But to the point, had that guy not alerted me to the fire I would not have unplugged everything else and would have lost much more.

I loved that stereo, I think it was possesed since it would turn on at random times all on its own while I was depressed and play just the right song to mame me feel better and other random creepy yet wonderfull things. Oh and for some reason it would play discs that were so damaged that no other cd player could read it. That was handy.

RIP stereo, I will miss you.
