Re: Ernesto
Made it to both ends of my street on my way to work. Both ends were flooded so I came back home, called in, and now im chilling. I think it's retarded that certain buisnesses expect their employee's to show up for work in conditions like this.

Re: Ernesto
I was driving down I-264WB last night(3am) and saw two cars that spun out and into the guard rail between Independence and Newtown. While I went to go take the offramp to I-64WB and hydroplaned and almost went into the concrete barrier! Thank got for decent tires. I let my foot up and the car was back on the ground and regained control. Hope all that had to go out made it to their destinarions and back safe.

Re: Ernesto
the funny thing is, most businesses that require a customer turnout will end up losing money trying to stay open and make employees come so they gotta pay them too, and no customers come in..makes no sense, the bosses try to be hardasses and dont realize their losing profit

Re: Ernesto
You're fucking retarded, lmao. I drove through Old Denbigh today on the way to my parents' house in York County, and all the roads were washed out. If I had known about the TWO FEET of standing water back there I would have driven my truck, not the 4-door grocery-getter!

Re: Ernesto
Holy crap. I live in the Buckroe section of Hampton. The water was 2 inch from making itself comfortable in my house. I know two streets from have 2 -3" inside. I had to jack my car up and put 9" centerblocks under it. Thanks to some dumdass driven an SUV. A wake came and dumped water INTO my Porcharger. Oh well. Hopeeverone is ok!!!
