"I'm fine. Annabelle's fine. Tails might be a goner."
Those of you who have been around this site for more than a calendar year or so no doubt remember our former contributor, Caroline Ellis. Caroline has the good fortune of living in the Palmetto State of South Carolina, which is normally a good thing. This week, however, she isn't so fortunate. When I saw the news images of floods throughout the State, I texted Caroline to see if all was okay. You can see the text I got back at the top of this post. Annabelle is Caroline's black lab. Tails is her 2012 Chevrolet Sonic LTZ hatchback.
From what I could gather, Caroline woke up Sunday morning to water that was already up to her knees. She ran outside and tried to start her car, but it wouldn't start due to the flooding, so she put the car in neutral and asked a few neighbors to help her push it to higher ground. I don't think she's been able to get it started since. I haven't bugged her since I'm sure that she has much more important things to do than answer texts right now.
That being said, if you have a moment to send her good wishes/thoughts/anti-rain dances, send her a message on Twitter and let her know we're thinking of her. In irony worthy of Alanis Morissette, today's also her birthday.
Let's hope she's able to come back here and update us on her status soon, as well as on her new car search.
