Something this AM got me thinking about having a couple of gallon ziplock bags in the vehicles.
Phx got historic rain last night...as in, the most in one day EVER since they started keeping records.
I-17, I-10, US60, SR 51, 202, 303, 143 basically EVERY freeway/highway around the valley, all had areas of closures due to flooding. A-DOT says the 'magic' number for the pumps to fail is 1" in one hour. Phx got almost 4" from midnight to 0300. I-10 was a lake with cars nearly submerged. SUVs had water up to the door handles or higher.
Fustercluck!
If my truck got stuck, smashed, whatever and I had to bail in the wet, I would want to keep my wallet. phone, radar detector and I-pod dry. The guns don't care and neither do the mags but the electro gizmos are worth too much to buy again.
