i dont get why people dont get their boats and drive out into the middle of the river and wait for the water to go down. Might suck up a lot of gas but better than the alternative.

too much debris like shaggy said and as for the taking the boats out, its not like going to a state park backing down and having no one else there in your way. I know the marina where my dad was was there for over 24 hours and had to stop because it started flodidng the crane and at that point human life is not worth it.

On a side note they did find my dads boat about a block away, I just got back. My dads out on the dock wreckage right now and I really can;t help do to no life jacket and its all fucked down there. he’s going to call me later with the condition of the boat.

Its not hard to find boat launches in PGH / Suburbs.

Common sense, wouldve tooken out the boat night before the big rain 🤣

I have a boat launch litterally beside my house, My neighbor took out his Cigarette boat w/ 8.1 crew cab just like brians. If it will fit on roads. this launch is big enough for it :grouphug:

we nearly got arrested for being in point park… it’s inaccessible by truck (the whole park is a mud bog now) and the police have it all blocked off… we snuck over there on foot from the Hilton.

1: they’re saying it’s your responsibility to get your boat.

2: you’re not allowed to go get your boat.

see how fucked up things are?

we found the boat and already pulled it out it is in good condition other then a couple of scratches and a ripped cover and we dont think anything is wrong with the motor cause it started up just fine havent had a chance to check out the outdrive but it appears to be ok

even though i know no one gives a shit and shaggy will be the typical homo that he is and have something stupid to say and this will be completely off topic within about 10 posts
