Interesting road signs (2 Viewers)

There is an underpass in Tucson that floods during every thunderstorm. At least once a year, someone decides they'll try to go through despite a very similar "ruler" and warning signs.

A couple randomly grabbed articles from the news. First, the history (it's been that bad for 90 years):

One with a great picture showing the "rain gauge". Looks like 7.5 feet worth in that photo!

I remember when Sat Navs first came out. I worked for a large car insurer. We had so many claims from people who had followed the sat nav’s directions and drove into a river in Norwich thinking they could cross it (because the sat nav couldn’t possibly be wrong).

A local farmer parked his tractor nearby waiting for people to drive into the river and then charged them £150 to tow them out :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

I'm still visualizing a guy, sllloooowly being surrounded by a gang of turtles. In terror, he remembers the help line...

Turtle emergency line: "Turtle emergency service, please state the nature of your emergency"
Gang of turtles victim: "You gotta help me, I'm being surrounded by turtles"
Turtle emergency line: "How many turtles do you see sir?"
Gang of turtles victim: "I dunno I think 4, maybe 5. They keep moving"
Turtle emergency line: "Try counting"
Gang of turtles victim: "Ummm... Yep, 5. But I see a sixth one across the street. He's moving in pretty quickly, and will be here within the hour"
Turtle emergency line: "Can you walk - or maybe crawl - away?"
Gang of turtles victim: "Uh... I think so... but can't they jump like 60 feet?"
Turtle emergency line: "No. That shell on their back is also their house. If they jump, it will break all the dishes in their cupboards. You have no idea how hard it is for turtles to get new dishes."
Gang of turtles victim: "Ok, I'm going to hang up and try to walk away then"
Turtle emergency line: "Good for you sir, have a nice day"

Man is later found dead at the side of the road, lying next to a new box of Corelle. The box was mysteriously empty.

Haha you could replace turtle with “zombie” from The Walking Dead and it would still be right, lol
