Was reading about the damages caused from Hurricane Ida. Many states have damage. Millions are without power.
Alabama reported several tornadoes and flooding. A small town called Lucedale, MS also got 14 inches of rain. I know people in this area. They are all safe. But two were killed when a road gave away.
Ten were injured as their vehicles plummeted down a 50 foot hole where the road gave away. A horrible scene. This happened Monday night.
A two-lane country road. They could not see for all of the rain that the road was just washed away. I cannot imagine.
This link (from the local news) shows video of the cranes pulling the vehicles out of the washed away road.

I was wondering why they were out in the dark in bad weather? Tragic story.
