Man vs. Nature, The Road to Victory!

They brought in the Emergency Backup Team, aka The Guy With The Bigger Equipment. He's pulled out some roots, but thus far has not managed to punch through whatever it is out there. He's run 100 feet of snake all the way out, and... nothing.

I'm hoping that whatever this is, it is in the street. Because at that point, it ought to be the city's problem, not ours. (Zip thinks maybe Jimmy Hoffa is out there. I'm not willing to rule anything out at this point.)

Now? They're calling in something called a Jet Truck (whee! doesn't that sound exciting?) which can exert five thousand pounds of pressure on whatever this thing is. o_O *imagines shit geyser that is likely to result if this thing were used for evil rather than good*

We are so screwed.

I am begging you to please take picture if a shit geyser should happen.

I keep thinking of Seattle, which basically owes its ongoing existence to the flush toilet, because before that it was gravity that carried the shit down to the water, and every time high tide came in, there were toilet geysers. May you fare better than Seattle. :-)
