Driving through Floodwaters

There was a sudden cloudburst this afternoon. The Sandy storm drains were overwhelmed and lower areas saw water flooding out of the storm drains. This can be seen in the video, as can two large pools that covered 13th East. On the second one there was a stalled car. One of the cars was unable to drive through the pool and apparently flooded.

Nighttime Lightning

Tonight as I drove there was some excellent lightning.

Smoky Debris

Nearly in the same place as yesterday I noticed a sudden cloud of smoke ahead of me. I slowed down and noticed that there was a bunch of broken things on the ground (not the tire I thought).

Phone Drifting

The lady in front of me was drifting from side to side. As the freeway began curving to the right, she kept drifting left – nearly running into the car on her left.
As I drove by I noticed she was on her phone.

Jeep Not Exiting

The Jeep in front of me was apparently not paying attention, so he ended up almost getting off the freeway and changing his mind at the last moment.

Red Truck Miss

The red truck that passes me at the beginning of the vid narrowly missed a collision in the intersection. He had his blinker on as if to turn right (though he wasn’t in the right turn lane), but then went through the intersection when the light went yellow – just as a car tried to turn left. The red truck ended up turning to the right suddenly to miss the other car and narrowly missed him.

Exiting Focus Issues

This afternoon There was a van who apparently wasn’t paying attention to his upcoming exit and had to cut right in front of me to reach it in time. From my other videos you can tell this isn’t exactly uncommon.
Interestingly, the very next exit there was a similar situation, but in reverse – a pickup getting on the freeway procrastinated merging with continuing traffic until he was nearly forced off in the exit-only lane.
Since this both deal with the same procrastination issue, I’ve merged them together.

Overburdened Van

While merging from I-215 to I-15 today, there was a minivan a few cars ahead of me with three large mattresses on top of it. The effect was rather comical. It also didn’t seem to know where it was going, as it got off the freeway in the wrong exit lane and narrowly missed clipping a few cars as it rushed to cross to the northbound exit instead of being trapped in the southbound lanes.

Stopped Strangely on Freeway

While driving to work this morning I came upon a car turned around on the freeway and pointing toward the direction of traffic with a pickup next to it. Neither was damaged as far as I could see, nor did there appear to be any damage or collision indications in the snow on the sides of the freeway. There were tire skid marks for the car, but the road wasn’t slick, so I’m not sure what the deal was.
After I passed them they both appeared to drive to the side of the freeway.

Merging without Looking

For the second time in as many commutes, someone attempted to merge into my lane without signal and would’ve hit me unless I honked at them. In today’s instance, it was an elderly lady who turned the corner apparently without noticing me, and then began moving over to make her turn. After my honk, she was somewhat frantically waving her arms; both in apology to me and then also seemed to be yelling at herself after I’d passed her.
