I found out this morning that a fuel tanker carrying around 9000 gallons of gasoline crashed on an interstate VERY close to me. Two MAJOR highways are closed right here by me. Traffic is effed. 141,000 cars usually go through this area EACH DAY. School busses are delayed; dozens were STILL out on the roads this morning at 10:47!! Everyone is using the surface roads. I was following this out of curiosity and because I go past that spot frequently, and then I realized that both my dcps have to get INTO this area to pick up
!
I kind of expect them to be very, very, very late today.
The city is saying that the roads might not be open until tomorrow (Wednesday) night!
Oh, I should add--3000 gallons of fuel spilled out of a 3-inch hole.
