Can't recall who told jedi, maybe it was lonehoosier but our neck of the woods in terms of highway is the "end of the line" in terms of truckers being able to drive their regular hours before having to stop coming from the coming west, east, south of the USA.



By the time they get to NWI they are tired and sleepy or racing against the clock to get to a piston. Thus a factor in more accidents

I think they were talking about one late Aug-early Sept.

I'm thinking early September. I'll start a poll this evening

 

[d.kaufman]

Wife's phone had been going off. She has an app for lighting strikes over by Lake Central.

Getting some rumbles in the sky. Are we gonna finally get some of this rain they've been calling for all week

Got a good bit of my lawn mowed, so at this point I'm fine with the rain coming down

But so far I don't see or hear anything out here in far west suburban Lowellabama. Sun is shining.

 

[melensdad]

Last 1.5 acres mowed.

No sign of rain.

No hint of thunder.

 

[Ballstater98]

Rain split around us. Nada.

 

[d.kaufman]

Short shower here. Enough to get out the pool and head inside for the evening

Stormed a bit. Sounded worse than it was.

Stormed a bit. Sounded worse than it was.

I took the dogs out shortly before 10, sky over me was partly cloudy. No rain.

South of the Kankakee river I could see a lot of lighting but it was far enough away that I could barely hear any rumble of thunder.

Still pretty much the same here.

Saw Eli Young band in crown point tonight, storms went north of us, looked kinda cool over the stage. Not a single drop of rain fell on us though. Woulda welcomed the cool off, just miserable muggy out there

Why is this stretch of highway so hard?

Because it's a 55mph speed limit, the construction zone east of 41 is a 45mph limit, and cars all want to do 80mph+ thru there, and truckers, who should damn well know better, try it at 70mph.
If drivers maintained a medium level of lane discipline, it could still work moderately well, but the constant lane changing, and drifting without signalling, causes people to pound the brakes, slowing the overall flow, and causing numerous accidents.

Here's a foreign concept.....do the speed limit, keep a safe following distance, and maintain your lane, and the collision rate would drop 80%.

Bad one on 65 early morning by Rensselaer.
