The Twits.

[demiurgent]

These are the twits I twitted.

• 10:24 Major flooding reported in my hometown... and *Wednesday's* hometown. Coincidence? #
• 10:29 ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hUSAqRniLQgPSda1TEcBYrFJbKpwD90CM27O0 for the story of Floodgate 2008 #
• 10:47 They have also evacuated UMFK and sent the students to UMPI. Um... UMFK's on a *hill.* Like, out of Flood Plain level hill. #
• 19:07 I am full of delicious Korean food! Meat is good! And it was free! Who knew? #

Ah, OK. They evac'd the UMFK students so that displaced Fort Kent people could have someplace to go.

...

You'd... think there was a more direct way to handle that, wouldn't you...

Yeah, water's startlingly high all over the northern half of the state and in NB. I drove from Millinocket to Bangor today; the Piscataqua was within a couple of feet of scraping the bottom of the bridge in Howland, and the Alton Bog was actually a bog again, for the first time in... well, about as long as I can remember, anyway. The Bangor Daily ran a photo the other day of the riverfront in St. John, which is flooded even worse than it was when kviri and I were up there three years ago.

(As an aside, it's refreshing to be able to just say stuff like that with the reasonable assurance that the person I'm addressing with know what the hell I'm talking about. Even kviri, my closest co-Mainer confidante, is from the Gardiner area and just gives me a blank stare when I talk about features of I-95 north of Augusta. :)
