Are they driving into the concrete barrier? I'm guessing you are talking about the Ford, it didn't flood badly enough to stall cars.

By the Ford plant is where it's always been bad in the inside lanes where the overpasses are at.

Especially by 130th. The one by the menards is exit is new but it was not that bad. Still driveable. The one by 130th if you drive in it you will not stall but will be in for a big surprise and since that overpass is dark bam! Cars tend to lose control and hit the center or hit a car in the middle lane.

New for today is the before and after the skyway connection. The local lanes going into chiraqi had standing water. The highway signs advised of the issue as well.

This might be a clogged drain issue and jedi has not seen this one before.

Yep, same as always. I don't see why people would be pulled over because of that.

The best part of that was when a truck coming the other way sent a wave of water over the barrier onto my car. Couldn't see for a few seconds.

It is one designed for garage usage. We always cleaned our old one up a couple days before I go pick up our 1/2 beef and 1/2 hog in late January.
Old freezer lasted over 20 years and didn't owe us anything. It tripped the GFI a couple times this summer, so we decided to be proactive. That coupled with the wife preferring an upright vs chest freezer made her happy.

Power is out at 49 and the toll road by Speedway and Culver's. I wouldn't go by there in that situation if you offered me $500.

Edit: Looks like the estimated time to restoration is 12:15pm, but that may change.

Chest freezers hold a lot more than uprights but half of it will never be seen again...

I can reach everything in the chest freezer, but shorty complained. We have 2 other fridges in the house, so over flow isn't an issue. Apparently they don't sell the mammoth ones for the garage, so we got the 20 cut. ft. (one of few in stock) which should be fine along with my Tetris skills.
