More than 200 cars underwater... but no pinball machines. The
water main break is downtown, and even a main break in the
Carnegie area would only drain into Chartiers Creek.

So far, PAPA is safe

You have a pretty sick sense of humor, Kevin

Maybe "bring a sandbag and get discounted admission"?

Stay dry!

We're serious about pinball. Anything else is just for fun!

OK, this is getting spooky. Reminds me of playing pinball in
Guerneville, next to the flooding-prone Russian River (northern Calif.)
as a kid. Operators would only dare put pinball games in riverfront
locations during the calm summer months! Time to put the PAPA building
on stilts?

Kevin, Maybe you can use this as evidence to get flood insurance after
all. At this rate it wouldn't hurt. JR.

I didn't see any Ferrari's under water this time either. There is
a silver one in Kaufmann's garage that I drool over every day but that
Garage is too high above the water line to be affected. Man, I wish I
had the brains to make the $$ needed to buy one of those - even if it
got repo'd a week after I bought it at least I would have had that
week.

Yeah, two blocks from where i work. 36" main break. there was a fed ex
truck parked on the street and the break happened right in front of it
so it looked like the truck hit a fire hydrant and water was going
about 5 feet in the air.

Oh, we've had full flood insurance since about a week after
last year's flood. It's quite inexpensive because the area
is in fact outside the 100-year floodplain.

When I first saw the story on the news, my first thought was to wonder
if the gods just hate you or something. The timing is erie.

The timing is Erie? No, that's upstate a bit.

Hey Kevin, still want to trade me for that key?

Thanks again for a totally spectacular weekend.
