Not really a man-made disaster but still something to think about when driving in the rain... 1

I've driven in some horrendous rain storms, but this is the first that I've heard of something like this happening:

I'm curious to see where it came out of the highway and they don't show that!
And makes me wonder if there's some other explanation as well.

I think warosses suggestion making it red neck style in my Septic tank problem thread is much better.
Just use my favorite gun and shot a hole in it, only have one option there, Husqvarna 30-06 .

Used to have one of those about 50 years back... fine rifle...

Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Feel any better?
