Holy God. I just spent 4 hours on 95 due to flooding

Once we got home, after wondering if we would need to pee in bottles and eat dog food, we looked online for the reason for the delay.
In future, it would be nice to have a detour WAY in advance of a 4 hour backup.

Do you realize that the detour itself is what causes these kind of back ups? No matter where the detour starts, there would be a major back up starting at the point of the detour. Did you plan accordingly knowing that you were traveling through a tropical storm in a low lying area prone to flooding?

Jasper county...yikes. No electricity in some parts even.

God forbid you were inconvenienced. People flooded out of their homes and businesses. And you were stuck on an interstate for 4 hours. How did you ever survive? Maybe you should seek treatment for the suffering.
