Carpool fucking sucks anyway. The manager ripps people off. That douchebag kept charging extra drinks on my tab when I went there. I argued it with him, and he basically told me to fuck off.
Don't start a tab there, just pay for your drinks individually.

Where in the hell did that much water come from? Is that parking lot in a ravine or something?

And... Oderus... What the fuck are you talking about?

About 3 years ago the culvert behind Fast eddies in FFX circle was blocked by construction during a major flash flood

It flooded right up to the back of Fast eddies, about 50 cars were several feet under water. I remember looking out the rear fire exit and seeing water almost coming in the door and cars floating by. Crazy Shit.

There is a little stream/brook that runs next to there (Sugarland Run??). After the rain on that wed it was ~10+ feet over it's normal level of 3 inches. The back end of the lot is really a flood plane for the stream. It's happened several times in the past. The water rose to that level in 30 min or so from what I heard.

I just thought it was funny to hear from people there that there was a Fairfax county rescue boat in the parking lot around 11pm checking the ~10 cars that were under water and washing away down the stream. Boats operating in parking lots isn't something you hear of everyday.

Does not anybody, in that worthless overpriced county and city of Fairfax, not have an Environmental or Stormwater engineer on the payroll? Maybe they shouldnt have destroyed the natural watersheds for yet another stripmall with bad chinese food
