Hurrican Ivan Fun!

Up here in North Alabama, at least in my part of it, Ivan had died down considerably by the time it hit us, all we had was heavy rain and 40 to 50mph winds. So me and my friends couldn't help but have some fun, and it goes by two words: Redneck Surfin'. What we did was tie a 30' rope to the ball of my truck, and tie a 1' piece of hockey stick to the end of it for a handle. Then the rider would sit on a boogey board and ride behind my truck on the wet streets. All I can say is it was the most fun I've had in a loooong time. We would get going to about 30mph through our neighborhood. Well the fun ended when I got pulled over, and that was scary. The cops were complete jerks. They threw me onto the hood of the cop car and searched me, then I was thrown into the back seat. I lost my wallet a week or so ago, so no ID made matters worse. Well the officer gave me a talk about how we could have died and then warned us never to do it again and sent us on our way. All in all, it was still so much fun, but I don't think I'll be doing it again.
Anybody else have any good storied about fun in the hurricane?

I have a really good story about the hurricane. It totally missed the Texas coast. I would never wish it on any body else and would have hoped that it would have died at sea, but I am sure glad that it did not come our way.
