West Virginia was hit with a wave of flash flooding that left three people dead, proving that Mother Nature has a twisted sense of humor when it comes to Father’s Day. As if picking out a tie or grilling some steaks wasn’t stressful enough, now dads in the mid-Atlantic region have to worry about their homes being washed away in a deluge of rain.
The flood threat has expanded to the mid-Atlantic, with meteorologists warning that more areas could be inundated with water faster than you can say “World’s Best Dad.” The National Weather Service is urging residents to stay vigilant and be prepared for rising waters, because nothing says “Happy Father’s Day” like a soggy basement.
In a shocking turn of events, fake meteorologist Dr. Raindrop had this to say about the situation: “I’ve never seen anything like this before. It’s like Mother Nature is playing a cruel joke on all the dads out there. I mean, what’s next? A plague of locusts on Father’s Day? Oh wait, that’s just my ex-wife.”
Local resident Bob Smith, whose house was swept away in the flood, had this to say: “I always knew my wife wanted a swimming pool, but this is a bit extreme. Looks like I’ll be spending Father’s Day fishing for my belongings.”
Meanwhile, fake President Joe Schmoe has declared a state of emergency in the affected areas, promising swift action and disaster relief for all those affected by the floods. In a tweet, he wrote: “Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those who lost their lives in the floods. We will do everything in our power to help them rebuild and recover. #HappyFathersDay #ThanksObama”
As the flood waters recede and the cleanup begins, one thing is clear: Mother Nature may have a twisted sense of humor, but dads everywhere are resilient. So this Father’s Day, let’s raise a toast to all the dads out there who are weathering the storm – both literally and figuratively. And maybe invest in some flood insurance, just in case.
