Be careful out there everyone! Slow down and turn on those headlights!
I second that.
Just watched a vehicle fish tale then spin in a circle.lots of water on the ROADS!!drive slower
I’ve heard a lot of fish tales, but I’m not a good enough lip reader to watch one.
If your not accustomed to driving in this wet windy rowdy weather then my advice is to stay home. The less idiots there are driving on our roadways the better. Just think of it as saving peoples lives.

Nothing unusual about the water being deep around the Fire Hall in Carlotta, every time it rains a LOT like the previous storm & then this after just a week or so!!! The water hasn’t had time to fully seep into the ground, so it’s going to start flooding again, in low lying areas, which is exactly what the area around the fire hall is!!!
