All those drivers that hit trees in the road were driving too fast for conditions.

I was there and only two vehicles hit it. I stopped inches from it. Yes people slow down.

In this weather slow down and be alert! It’s irresponsible to drive otherwise.

If you are new to Humboldt….have a emergency plan during these storms. I actually set up an emergency plan for myself last night. glad I didn’t need it but it felt good to have it and enabled me to get some sleep after 11pm….
Be Prepared at home and in vehicles.
