The Vegas flood was nuts! my G is stranded...

when i woke up this morning and looked out the window, the weather looked fairly nice. So i took my G to get my camber kit installed finally. When i return home, there is maybe a line of 5-6 miles of cars backed up. Im like WTF is this bs, so i keep following cuz i had no where else to go (trapped!).

After following for about an hour and a half in backed up traffic, the line of cars stop at this MASSIVE flood at this intersection. This intersection was not completed yet, and still is just dirt, but all the cars had to use this detour because all the paved roads were blocked. I saw an expedition turned on its side and a bunch of other cars.

I saw this 4 door G turned on it's side!!!! How sad..... My car is lowered and there was just no way i could get through with the water up to my door and rocks grinding underneath.

So i parked the G ontop of this floating island of dirt!! My aunt picked me up, and my G is still stranded on that dirt mound with many other cars. I had no choice but to just leave it there. This flood sux ***!! I dont think i can even go to work tomorrow. Pray the G will be okay!!!

Whats up with all this crazy weather in the world!!!
-tsunami's in asia
-avalanches/mud slides in california
-floods in vegas

I think the world is coming to an end....

And this weather we've been having here in FL for the last 2-3 weeks has been awesome! I live near Jacksonville and I've never seen it this warm in January this consistently- 70s and 80s.

Glad that u decided to think of your safety over the G as it is only a car. Your life is more important. I know some people in here might have tried to save their G til the last minute. haha

Got to be south of 215 right, I was out there earlier, it's ridiculous. It's just a big flood plane out there, none of the flood control is in place yet. Hope you can get your G out soon.
