@zxys001

@bobbymoss6160

Why are they out if they know the roads are flooding from heavy rainfall...

@rossy2976

@Yah-Yah733

Global warming is really real out here! I remember the song “It never rains in Southern California” from Baby Face

@carolbrowning7532

That is called flash flooding

@NyuuMikuru1
