boy what a night

Postby gnuuser » 02 May 2017, 21:52

boy when the storm hit last night i had to go out to help direct traffic due to roads flooding and trees down
(no one hurt in our area)
I stationed at an intersection where road flooded over.
I called my chief on the radio and told him where i was. and after that i couldn't call anyone due to so much radio traffic.
our company got 15 calls in the space of 1/2 hour and surrounding departments were busy as H3ll
so we were spread a bit thin.
funny part is people driving trucks and suv's were driving slow and careful but not the idiots in the small cars! :berserk2
seen more than a few hydroplane (the scared look on their faces was hilarious) :jackpot:
