Back in November we were meeting friends at Marks for dinner and had a huge debate as to whether or not we should cancel. The rain slowed and ultimately stopped so we headed out. By the time we reached Marks it started in again and the intensity of the rain increased significantly through dinner. Our drive back home ‘over the hill’ was the scariest experience I’ve ever had in a car. Debris was sliding down the hillside in the form of rocks, gravel and mud and water was sluicing down the paved road in rivers. For the first time in my life I could clearly see how cars could get washed away in the rain and it wouldn’t have to be deep water for it to happen.

So after all that verbiage I’d just like to remind everyone there to be extremely careful and cautious if you happen to get trapped out in a deluge. Better part of valor is walk to dinner or pass on it completely but please don’t go randomly driving around. The ‘what ifs’ Could easily happen and ruin a wonderful vacation.
