I always wonder what puts you in a place when something like that happens.
I know several times I have been slowed down by things when I am in a hurry like a slow driver or customer who can't start filling out the check until the have recieved a complete total and the stuff they bought is bagged. But then you drive down the road and see a horrible accident that just happened and if it was not for that slow poke in front of you a couple minutes back it may have been you.
Glad your safe and prayers go out to the families that have suffered a loss.

Holy Sh!t . . . can you imagine driving down the road and having it dissappear right in front of you so fast that you can't stop in time and fall into a huge hole! 

Quote from article!  -  One truck heading east and one heading west drove into a chasm created by the break, which was 25 feet deep and 50 feet wide! 
 


That could ruin your day real fast and did for a couple truck drivers.  Sad story.   :walkaway:

I've had to pump out my basement 3 times in the last 2 years, in the prior 6 years never even had a wet basement except for hurricane floyd.

Prayers go out to those two unlucky truck drivers, and all those who are suffering from this terrible rain.
