    I received a flash flood alert going to Indy Saturday night. It got very bad. I slowed to 45 and put the 4 ways on. Rain was going sideways and little rivers going across the road. Rare when I slow down like that.

    Umm rain isn’t bad how hard we talking like just regular rain? Now if it’s down pouring like it does in Florida and Ohio at times people usually drive 25 anyway

    It’s as unnatural as wearing another man’s skid mark underwear.
