I hate driving when it's been raining so hard and so much that roads get flooded. It was hard to stop at a light and I almost went through it; luckily it turned green as I was sliding into the halfway point and there had been cars around me already slowing down. Then on the way home there was so much water at one spot a car like mine had gotten stuck. Another little car had taken advantage of space between incoming traffic to reverse out of impending orz into the exit lane of a shopping strip. I should have followed him, instead I shuffled forward until I saw the problem. Realizing my own chances of crossing were as slim when I didn't have a big truck, I simply pulled a U-turn and drove into the grassy hill area then back-tracked to that little exit lane to go around. The plastic... thing, idk under my bumper hanging down took a beating on one side and I don't know how to fix it, but overall the rest of the car is fine.
What sucks is I have to go back out there in about two hours for an 8 hour shift. I'll sleep til then, which will add up to six hours. Sigh.
