Big Sinkhole in Brew City

[BillyRay]

Last night, Milwaukee got hit by a huge thunderstorm with a near-record amount of rain. (between 6"-12") There was flash flooding everywhere. (I had to race to our workshop in the middle of it and rescue puppets from the basement storage room we're renting.) There's a whole block on the North Side with damaged foundations. But the real show-stopper is the sinkhole that opened up at a busy intersection near my neighborhood. Swallowed an SUV and a traffic light. Here's some pics: A State of Emergency has been declared for Milwaukee County. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38380504/?GT1=43001

See? See what happens when your puppets anger the gods?

Yup, god hates high-end SUVs.

In fact, it's pronounced "mill-e-wah-que" which is Algonquin for "the good land." Pretty nuts. At least this sinkhole isn't the size of that one somebody posted last month. Pardon me, but I forget what country that was.

[LouCipherr]

If I remember correctly Mike, it was Guatemala. That is, if the one you're referring to was the 'perfectly round' sinkhole that was 100 ft. deep. Weird.

I wonder how it feels to all of a sudden start dropping into the ground.... My first reaction would probably be "GRABOIDS!"

My first reaction would probably be "GRABOIDS!" Mine would be "I gotta find Venkman!"

[bassman]

Mine would be "I gotta find Venkman!" "We can handle, we can take it. They wanna play rough!"

See? See what happens when your puppets anger the gods? Actually, only a couple puppets got a little damp. It could have been a LOT worse.

My first reaction would probably be "GRABOIDS!" I would turn to the nearest person and yell: "Shai-Hulud!"
