7,600 lightning strikes in one night on a coastal town.
When we worked for Illinois State Highways, the Des Plaines River flooded badly. The roads were closed south of Palatine Rd where River Rd and Milwaukee Ave came together.
The Lead Lead Worker was out with another guy in his diesel crew cab. The other guy was driving. The Lead Lead told him, "Go to the left." The other guy told him, "But that's the dee water." He told him again, "Go to the left." He did. The air horn sucked up water and the diesel got hydro lock. It const them $10,000 to put a new engine in the truck. I wonder who got written up for that one. I would not want to have been the tow truck driver coming to pull them out. He likely had to wear hip waders. LOL
I wonder who, if anyone, got written up for that one. ;)
