What's on Your Mind

Glad you got home safely Cridders. Flood water on roads can be a real hazard.

Years ago I was hiking and a hurricane moved in. I decided to cut the hike short and took the quick way out to my car. The rain on the way home was incredibly heavy and I remember thinking as I drove along one particular stretch of road that things were getting bad. The next day the newspaper showed a picture of the stretch where I have been thinking about the bad rain. The road was 3/4 GONE, leaving a gap that would have been more than enough to have dumped my car upside down and underwater and mud. Still freaks me out.

Blimey, I'm not surprised LJay! If timings had been different... it doesn't bear thinking about! Do you remember the hurricanes name, or what year this was? Tropical cyclones ie Hurricanes, Typhoons etc etc are a real big interest of mine. Scary things when they hit land instead of remaining out to sea .
