Several wrecks on the road. One a jackknifed tractor and a small car in the median. Didn't look too bad as I went by. Half hour late to my destination but at least I got there in one piece.

They're going to St. Pete and are real PNWers. I grew up on the coast so I know it'll be dealt with but man, they're going to be impressed.
