We didn't get much wind, but we did get a hell of a lot of water. Roads are impassable - flooded and/or washed out - in all directions. Lots of bridges down too.
I probably won't make it tomorrow. Hoping for Tuesday.

Here's the road I usually drive to get to work. Also to get to the track. Or pretty much anywhere.

Gee Nate, Can't imagine why you wouldn't want to pull the trailer down that road....
Glad you're OK, good luck getting thru the mess!

Just as well you didn't take my up on the offer, since I missed day 1. Day 2 was fun, though!
That video was early in the proceedings. Later on it washed out the rest of the way. But the back way was opened to 4WD by a neighbor with a dozer, so I sneaked out.

Sorry to hear about the chain problems. I hope you can figure out why it's overheating.
