That would be a good time. I like how he slows for the red lights.

Likewise, only I didn't have a jet ski. That water looks nasty though.. I wouldn't want to so much as step in it never mind the activity. The oil sheen made me realize that at first, but then thinking about the backed up sewage lines.. just nasty.

I was waiting for him to smack a no parking sign, or bottom out somewhere and go flying over the bars.

It doesn't appear that the water is more than a couple feet deep, so I'm sure he can see anything sticking up.

Too cool though...

There were a bunch of dumbasses doing that in Minot during the flood too. Of course, they got arrested. Granted, it was a mandatory evacuation area... so they had good cause. But doing that A) makes you look like a possible looter and B) causes more damage to homes/buildings because of the wake.

If I didn't have my truck somewhere they would find it, I would just peace out on the cops.

you'd think the cops would have better things to do...

When they got calls as such they were also on PWC's and boats/Airboats from the game and fish
And between the Guard, Border patrol, and local LEO's, there were patrols all along the edge of the flooding to keep the riff raff out.

Um, how so? It's an abandoned neighborhood... a looters paradise, it's their job to keep people out. What would you rather them do, eat doughnuts and drink coffee uptown?

I understand stopping them... but arresting them? shit, just how much can you loot on a jetski?

I don't know what happened to them after the fact, but they hauled them away in cuffs... :idk:

Hearts and minds of the public that lost homes. You would want them watching over your property if there was 3' (or more) of water around it and nothing but some dirt or sandbags saving it, and some douche decides to play speedracer and his wake goes over or wrecks your dike...
