Really Bad

[adnault]

One of the first accident victims was a sheriff's deputy, Judd said. The deputy told Judd that conditions on the road worsened suddenly. "'It was clear, it was a little foggy, then it was total darkness,"' Judd recounted the deputy saying.

The sheriff added that although the deputy was shaken up, he helped move people to safety as vehicles

holy hell.
And people wonder why I say my husband has a dangerous job.

Yeah I think the truckers got the worst of that. They're the majority of the people on the road at that time and all the fires that I can tell were rigs.

that was on the news all the way up here :(

Yeah it's still closed down and pretty awful.

She's fine! Her husband was considerably worried. She didn't have her cell phone so there was a few hours of non communication. Everything is fine though. She missed it by about an hour.

Thank you! Everything turned out fine for my friend she was luckily about an hour behind the disaster.

That's awful... it's one thing that I can't handle and that's being helpless. I think a situation like that would wound me more than helping someone and then them passing later. People are a dangerous lot.

Yeah.... I very much look up to emergency personnel. It takes a strong person mentally to be able to do that job. I practically grew up in the firehouse (my mother worked in one until I was 6 and my stepdad was a fire chief. It's an interestingly lifestyle but very rewarding.
