Serious rainfall, part of I70 is submerged!

I'm fine, it's ~10 miles from me, but there's one helluva mess on the highway right now. The water's started to recede and they're finding cars they didn't even know were there.

That's the highway divider in the middle of the picture.

The news weather people said this is a "once in a hundred years" type of event. There were several large cells that all followed the exact same path which caused the localized flooding, while some areas a mile or two on either side didn't get a drop.

To top it off, there was a tornado reported on the ground today, and that's on top of the one last week, an F3 that luckily didn't do more damage.

WOW....this is not good news since the Cars and Parts swap meet is just down the road this weekend in Springfield. I am going to have to find an alternate route this morning.

Just got off the phone with the OHP and I-70 is back up and running in both directions.
