Was a wild ride coming out of the back of paint rock valley this evening
Yes it was.
Eastern Bypass in Hampton Cove is a mess. Folks sliding off the road while they sit in traffic. 72 was a sheet of ice from gurley to woodville. We slide all over the place in my dads truck hauling the sxs. Watched several cars slide off into the median.
Dad has been working a wreck on Hobbs Island Rd since 4pm. Talked to him at 8:30, they are still there. They can't even get an ambulance to it. Said the ambulance wrecked and there have been 4 cars hit the ambulance since. He has a fire engine stuck in a solid sheet of ice on the road and does not have tire chains with it. He had a salt/sand/gravel truck finally arrive as I was talking to him.
Huntsville Fire wrecked engine 4 on Monte Sano this afternoon. From the pics I saw those boys had a wild ride.
I talked to Woodsman42 a few minutes ago and they are stuck at the river bridge in Guntersville. Road is barricaded north and south bound.
