    That's going to be a mess traffic wise... Wonder how they even clean all that mud up? Use a snowplow?

    Probably skip loaders and dump trucks. I doubt they would do too much mud plowing with a snow plow. They likely will use a grader to get as much of the mud out of the travel lanes as they can. Of course, what do I know?????

    Latest report said that the mud was over 6 feet deep in places. It is going to take a while to dig all of that out.

    Did they save any of that water or did they just let it all go into the ocean so they can complain about not having water later.
