Stop on the gas and SKIP across!
Doesn't work. Results are cold and wet as you try and wade away from your stuck car. Un-fun.

Gotta Love "foul Weather" Huh?
YEAH, YEAH, IT'S JUST RAIN BUT MY CAR DON'T TREAD WATER.
Left the house at 0700 this morning, for some reason thinking, Route 5 can't be anything more than wet. So, I head out and get to the 249 intrsection where there sits an S.H.A. truck with an arrow pointing LEFT. I follow the car in front of me; turning RIGHT. Maybe HE/SHE knows something I don't. We get to the church and have to turn around in the parking lot because Indian Bridge/Flat Iron intersection is under water. SRITT!!!
So, we turn around and I take Fairgrounds Road to St. Andrew's Church Road and head to work THAT way. Got in the EMPTY office bldg. at 0930. So, I'll hang out til around 1230, then I'm goin' home.
Too little, too late NOW, but I'm gonna check the gutters. :shrug:

I've been telling people that this information is incorrect. Is there a Mark's Automotive in Drayden that I don't know about? Because the only Mark's Automotive I'm familiar with is very near gate 2, and no where near Drayden.

I think the dashes indicate separate incidents :shrug:
