I remember Sandy...what a mess!

In regard to post 4900,  in 1970 I was working for road contractor, on I-90, at Chamberland, SD.  I was running a D-9 cat  and they had me dig a big -big trench and bury about 150 cars, some 30's 40's and lots of 50's. There had been a salvage yard real close to the interstate right away, and the cars had to go away. I really wanted to try and save some of them but they said they all had to go. After I had them in the trench they had me run over them with the 9 a few  times, then cover them up. I'v thought about that a lot of times and thought what a waste.

As a young 10 year old kid in Waltham, Mass., I remember Carol!! I remember watching 3 or 4 men in yellow storm gear, carrying lanterns, tied together maybe 5 or 6 feet apart, trying to make their way down the sidewalk pulling themselves along by the fence along side the sidewalk. I also remember the huge elm that almost toppled over, maybe a 45* angle, stopping just feet from my second story bedroom window. The next day my dad and I took a ride down by a few car dealers that had water up to the windows in the car lot. They were by a river off Main Street, close to WATERTOWN. Who woulda guessed? Apparently somebody had a crystal ball.

There was a long thread going on the Hamb about finds in Arizona. Some of them were about old cars that had been buried/piled up in the desert waterways that were normally dry to control floodwaters when they got their occasional storm.

Thanks Joe...I needed to look at something pleasant today...that did the trick!      

Joe, that really looks good, but I bet that red would really show good in about a foot of snow, so bring it on over.  On a side note, check your anti freeze before you come as it has been damn chilly here lately.
