O/T Deepest I seen over the road in 50 years live here

Mike in MI · Mar 14, 2009

This is the deepest I seen the water over the road since I was 12 years old. I don"t expect this to go down soon.
I couldn"t believe it but there was this young guy must of thought his 4x4 with a lift kit could make it across. Just about half way in and his fan slashed water on his engine and stalled it out.
So I pulled him out with my tractor and I couldn"t see my draw bar when backing up too his truck and the front tires was completely under water also. I made him hook the chain to his truck and it was over his knees. I"m not sure how deep it is overall?
I don"t think it did the wheel bearings much good! Mike

Probably should have left him there so he could have snagged a Darwin award.

Sounds like when the neighbors kid ran in the lake a couple of years ago. He called me and asked me to go haul the boy out. The kid was in the box of the pickup when I got there. The dad looked at me like he thought I was going in the water to hook the chain. Guess again. "you hook it or I'm going home"! Ruined the truck. Sucked water right up in the intake.
