Anybody get some good rain tonight?
« on: April 23, 2009, 11:09:35 PM »
Man it poured here in Smyrna... hail storm and all. Looks like the thin sheet metal Jeep survived. I was driving taking the dog to my parents in Lilburn while I am gone this weekend and it rained/hailed all the way there. Then rained/hailed all the way back home.

We got to the apartment drive and all the rain had backed up the drains and there was about 3 feet of flowing water on the exit side and around 2-3 feet on the entrance side and probably about 20-30 cars waiting both directions. I drove around, drove through it, and then coached a few SUV's through the water before going home. I went back a few minutes ago just to check, water has gone down some but looks like there are 2 or 3 cars that might have hydro locked and were left in and around the water.

haha it honestly wasnt that bad and i would have taken Megan's Liberty through it. I did break the rule of not driving on a road that is covered with flowing water... but I wanted to get home... (and show i could do it  ;D )

Glad everything is alright.  We got a good bit of water up here.  Blew a tree down that I had to winch out of the driveway.

Rule?  What rule?  I never knew that was a rule.  Screw it man, ya got a Jeep.

Haha tedder the rule you always hear on the news. Don't drive through moving water covering a road because it could have taken out the road. Would have sucked to nose dive my jeep into a hole infront of 30 people. But I couldn't help showing off.

Cars were still there this morning so looks like 3 might have locked. Shows you how deep it was.

OUCH if you got the hail we got... I have been there before though. One of our first club rides I got rained on halfway up to tellico with no doors and 35" tires that stuck further than the flares
