Glad you're okay! Mother nature dumped a stupid amount of rain on us didn't she? You get the Jeep pulled out of the creek yet?

Well its pretty basic. Just the average jeep underwater story. I was on my way to work, it was rainy and visibility was non existent. I saw the yellow turn marker and turned too soon. Hydroplaned offand down into a creek. Initially I thought okay ill just drive my tank thru it. Wrong. The surge forced the water over the roof. The jeep drifted effortlessly down the raging creek and slammed up against a driveway bridge and crash! Driver side window shattered, slicing my arm. The first thing I did was jump to thepassenger side. I kneew I couldn't open the door so I cranked the window. I forced myself through the current, grabbed the roof rack and pulled myself out. I climbed the bridge and all I said was. "Damn."
