Sea Foam Engulfs Scottish Town

This is nuts... Source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...n_1912376.html Sea Foam Engulfs Footdee In Aberdeen, Scotland Foam sweet foam. Residents of Footdee, a fishing area in Aberdeen, Scotland, were shocked to wake up Tuesday morning to find sea foam covering their homes, streets and cars, the BBC reports. The frothy stuff was carried onto land by strong winds off the North Sea, and left the small fishing village (known to locals as "Fittie") looking as if it had been hit by a snowstorm. "I woke up at 7 a.m. and I couldn't believe it when I looked out the window to see how bad it was," resident and artist Joyce Cairns told STV-TV. "At first I thought it was just the sea coming over, but the foam gradually came closer and closer to the house ever 15 minutes." Sea foam is produced by salt water getting churned up with various organic material. It is generally not hazardous to humans, though there are some exceptions, such as when harmful algal blooms decay near shore and subsequently become mixed up in the foam.

I knew MZ was getting excited about the next season of TWD, but this is ridiculous! If I hadn't just changed my signature quote, this would so be in there right now. ha! I bet that properly stinks ... brings a new meaning to the phrase "something smells a bit fishy". We've been having quite a lot of rain over here - many areas up north and in Wales getting flooded out. Where I live is fortunately fine when it comes to heavy rain, but we do get a lot of road damage from the surrounding hills dumping countless gallons of water in these conditions. Parts of the nearby town get flooded routinely though, and the river that runs through town usually overflows every year - mostly affecting low-lying field nearby, but it has been known to cause more havoc. There's many areas and roads near to the river around here, so we often get pockets of flooding 'round these 'ere parts. Fortunately we don't get what looks like a group of sperm whales giving a town the bukkake treatment!

I bet that properly stinks ... brings a new meaning to the phrase "something smells a bit fishy". I know, the ocean can be so beautiful in some respects and so skeevy in others. And for real...sea foam freaks me out, I always walk around or step over any heavy blobs of it I see on the beach.

This thread is worth it's weight in comedy gold! Proud to see my innate skill for lowering the tone hasn't gone unrewarded.

Proud to see my innate skill for lowering the tone hasn't gone unrewarded. Nope. In fact, we revel in it here. Remember that "way with words" thing I've been saying for years?
