I'm glad no one was hurt. Hopefully, The economic damage won't be drastic either.

that's right , no one hurt is the key cause material things can be replaced,, but I don't know about drastic, were sifting thru several million dollars worth of equipment that is scattered from here to the next town Tc

Sorry to hear youe troubles TC. Glad noone got hurt. You surecwork alot for being retired. Ha. Good luck on the salvage.

Yep, in the Rockies we get snow very late in the spring. Problem is its really wet and heavy. As was said, tree limbs come down. So do trees! Drive around the bend in the road at 60mph and find a tree laying in the road or partly is nothing new.

Well off to make me another 2 bits and keep the stations up and running. Good luck to all in the odd season of weather!

good to hear no one was hurt tc. equipment can be replaced, life cannot.

ya retirement sucks,, I didn't work this hard before,, at least then I had scheduled days off,, but hey could be worse,, I could be living under a bridge. Tc

Dang TC, sorry to see the damage and hope it all works out for you guys.
Yeah retirement can be a rough time, my dad agrees with you.

Dang Jerry, you stay safe out there my friend

Yep, you know it. Another thing that you see a lot this time of year is rocks or bolders in the road. The ground get soft from the thaw and it loosenes the rocks. Down they come. Ive see a few big ones that would wipe out a car. Never seen a car hit one or hit one myself but it happens. Keep eyes on the road as they say. Im loading at the moment btw.

I'm always leery driving around the western mountain-y side of the state. Yeah, they put up what looks like a plastic net along the edge of the road, but I have a funny suspicion that won't really do much if those big ol' rocks sitting up on them hills decide they want to roll on down for a change of scenery. And small 2-lane mountain roads are scary as hell.

Fortunately things have been somewhat normal in my neck of the woods. No ice, and no twisters. Of course the problem here is usually Hurricanes and those should still be a ways off unless Mother Nature is feeling especially vindictive this year.

They use heavy cable nets around here. And concrete walls. But if a biggie want to come down, no man made device is going to stop it momentem that i know. The cables are just for the small ones.

So much for "April showers bring May flowers"!
