Huge water main break traps drivers near D.C.
Edited on Tue Dec-23-08 10:34 AM by DubyasWorld
"Rescuers scrambled to pull motorists from frigid floodwaters unleashed by a massive water main break Tuesday on a commuter road just outside Washington."
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28365810/

and this earlier:
"Public utility dike bursts, floods 8 to 10 homes
The collapse occurs at a power plant run by the Tenn. Valley Authority. An earthen dam holding back a retention pond broke early Monday at a power plant run by the nation’s largest public utility, releasing a frigid mix of water, ash and mud that damaged 12 homes and put hundreds of acres of rural land under water."

1. I heard
that Obama actually planned the water main break along with Al Queda. :P

(I've been watching the rescue all morning... It got pretty hairy there for a while.)
