Sabbath Surprise

Sunday, Sept. 6, 2009

We were just a little surprised when Mark and Andrea Wittwer knocked on our door saying there was a problem in the street... I went out and saw the asphalt mounded up like a small volcano just waiting to erupt, with lots of "fissures" leaking tons of murky red water.


I quickly called Barbara Salmon, who knew the right people to call. For the next several hours there were lots of people standing around watching, work crews literally "getting to the bottom" of the problem.


Dad and I moved the truck and suburban so as not to be in the way. It was the weirdest thing to see the suburban driving on MOVING asphalt!! That water was under the asphalt from the intersection by our house, down past McMullins house. We'll see if we start pumping lots of water in the next day or so...hope you like the pictures!!
