I got stuck on I270 right as all the [shithitsfan] Had a moment there where I had to wonder if all was going to be okay. It wouldn't have been so bad if everybody didn't stop in the highway. I could have normally driven through it in a few minutes but instead had to sit through it for 15 minutes.

The ARES that DFBrews posted has been pretty active and helpful.

Not sure what town it happened in but a car next to me at the gas station this morning had rather severe evidence of hail damage.
