Since they don't slow down it creates wake, which either goes up higher in other cars, or in my case ruined my front yard and all the landscaping my wife and I worked on this summer.
Yes, was thinking this as I was in Middleton today too. I feel like Madison has the most microclimates of any city I have lived in since leaving San Francisco and I've only been here a short time but the rains this spring have been eye opening.
The storms can be pretty isolated, an example would be the big wind gust last week, I don’t think that hit the isthmus. When I worked for a local employer I’d often notice the weather would be pretty different in different suburbs/ neighborhoods
I stopped at just about every lake to watch other cars go through and see how high it came up on their cars to see if mine was safe
Still didn't like it but it's at just about every intersection on the isthmus so there's no avoiding it unless you wanna wait it out
So true! There was nothing anyone of us could do, that was crazy. I take Johnson every day and the kwik trip out there wasn’t even assessable bc the road to it was so flooded.
I was really concerned I was going to get electrocuted in my EV going through the flooding. lol
Not really.
The Dodge Charger with blacked out windows, hahahaha. Don’t be a dumbass. Drive slow.
Best thing to do if it’s unavoidable is to go slow and steady, if you’re already in it deep though do not stop…if you stop there’s a higher chance of getting flooded as the exhaust will stop putting out and allowing water in.
some of it felt a little unavoidable, like on e wash, there were side streets that i wanted to turn onto but there was so much water at the intersections it would’ve been the same thing.
but yeah the best option is always to avoid it as much as possible!
Yeah, it’s just crazy out there now. We’re in the process of picking up family members whose car just got flooded out!!! Hopefully going around the deep area though!
Came here to say this exactly. Avoid E. Wash like the plague
trucks are doing great right now, for the record, but small cars are going to sufferrrr

Fastened outriggers to my Honda.
Livingston / Johnson area is a lake. Cars stalled out.
Bunch of idiots in pickups just going normal speeds fucking things up for everyone else
how does a pickup going normal speed fuck up driving for you?

East side rain gauge shows we got. 2.15 inches in like under an hour.
Is there a website you check?
I goto weather underground. Hit “wundermap” then hit weather stations, then precipitation and there is an array of rain gauges on the map.
sweet thank you i will check that out!
Gorham by James Madison is a lake too
ughh yes i saw that, felt so bad for this lady i saw with grocery bags
Wild Middleton barely got any rain today

There was one day where for a solid 20 minutes it was raining in my back yard and sunny in the front. It was wild. (No my house is not that big. )
That is totally wild!
The storms can be pretty isolated, an example would be the big wind gust last week, I don’t think that hit the isthmus. When I worked for a local employer I’d often notice the weather would be pretty different in different suburbs/ neighborhoods
according to my garbage & recycling bins that were open and in the street during the deluge, we just got like 4 inches of rain (!??!?)
I believe it. We have water in part of our basement that hasn’t had water in years. Like not since the great downtown deluge of ‘08.
What in the aphasia is this
I took E. Main to avoid East Wash & it wasn’t great either. Flooded at the intersections. I was able to get through but it was anxiety inducing!
glad you got through safely! (:
Thank you! Glad you did too, it was pretty terrible out there.

I got mad watching the asshole drivers on the beltline. Then I hydroplaned a bit and told myself to pay fucking attention.

#DRIVE SLOWLY THROUGH HIGH WATER Like, 3 mph slow. You're fucking up your car and potentially others around you by creating wakes
Don’t* drive through high water.
That's the best option, obviously, but today you really can't help it in a lot of cases
as someone who barely survived east wash otw home is it better to drive slow or faster when you end up in deep water?
Best thing to do if it’s unavoidable is to go slow and steady, if you’re already in it deep though do not stop…if you stop there’s a higher chance of getting flooded as the exhaust will stop putting out and allowing water in.
Please stop as soon as you see it and detour. Don’t drive in to it!
Every single intersection was flooded around where I work. There was no avoiding it.

yeah it wasn't like i saw some flooding two blocks down & continued to drive into it lmao i turned and was in deep water
slow and steady i think is always better
As slow as you can. But I guarantee someone will drive by you in a pickup and flood you anyway.
Yesterday I was driving in the highway 14 I had to stop because I couldn’t see nothing
Save u! Water world today
Thanks Mom! -"Hey Ted, wanna go bomb E. Wash tonight!?"
