This Weather.

Driving to Turlock from Manteca was straight forward and an easy drive. It only took my forty minutes to get there and traffic is usually not that bad. Making my drive to school every day relatively consistent. However, the last week and a half the weather decided to take a dump. It had been pouring on the way to and from school for about a week. Luckily the traffic has still been traveling at good speeds so that I have not yet been late to my classes. Out of all the days its rained, yesterday had to be the worst to drive in. there weren’t that many cars on the road but it was raining so hard visibility was only about 20 yards. It was even worse then there was a car ahead of you emitting a cloud of water behind it. I would drive in the slow lane and drive slow to make sure I didn’t die on the way to school and morons would still fly by me going at least 75. Keep in mind it was pouring and the roads were soaked. I made it just fine that day but on the way home there was a semi-truck that had crashed going onto an exit and was perpendicular to the highway so the exit was completely blocked. Then, later that night an emergency broadcast announcement lit up my TV. There was a crack in a levee near my house. My uncle, who lives closer to the area then I do, was asked to evacuate as a precaution. They fixed the crack later that night but they had to move soil from other parts of the levee to fix the crack. So essentially about 100 yards of the levy have less dirt then it did before. And a dam (don’t remember the name) is releasing more water and there is no telling what that’ll do. So, we drove to my uncle’s house and helped him a bit. He wanted to keep his car at our house just in case it did flood. But as of now everything is fine and hopefully it stays that way. Because I only like to go swimming in the summer.
