Mar 9

In my neighboring town, there is a street that has flooding. Water builds up in the sewage system underneath the street. It raises the manhole cover out of its placement and moves it, leaving a 2ft diameter hole in the road.

People try to drive on the flooded road and a car inevitably takes a sudden drop as a front wheel goes down a couple of feet.

The car is then ruined.
