Yea. Some graves are floating up at the Nibletts bluff cemetery in Toomy and the VFW and Fountain cemeterys in Starks.

let's hop in my crappy boat, light up a couple of marlboro lights and throw a wake in everyone's house.

Throwing waves into all those houses. What a dick

Exactly what I was thinking. If anyone over there deserved a shotgun blast across the bow, it would be that a-hole

At this point the water is too high to worry about the wake.

Initially I thought he was a dick for throwing wake into the houses, but at this point I don't think it makes a difference. These houses have 6ft of water in them, a wake from a jon boat isn't going to do shite.

I guess people want him to idle the entire way.

Let's say it's 5 miles to his house. You expect him to idle the entire way?

What damage do you think he's doing?

go at a speed where you are throwing minimal water.

yea plenty of the houses are under but not everything was buried in water.

if its 5 miles, ok you get there in an hour. unless someones life is on the line, he should go slow.

Going fast is the least amount of wake you can throw. Going slow causes a bigger wake. The only way to have zero wake would be to idle. Idling the entire way they went would be nuts. Those houses had 4'-6' of water in them. He wasn't doing anything to them with his johnboat wake, especially since he kept his speed up and his wake small 90% of the way. Y'all are acting like he was wakesurfing behind a Super Air Nautique with full ballast. Get a grip.

Then stay out until the water receeds like the rest of the community. Odds are, if there is internet in that podunk town, he will get his arse handed to him once this video makes it around.

At the end of the video you hear the baw say "man it is right there at it" then it shows the water about an inch from going in his trailer.

And if you looked further down his trailer in the shot a few seconds later you could see that as it went along, the floor was clearly below the waterline. Unless he shelled out for a trailer with walls impervious to standing water, he already had water inside.
