No way would I be driving across that bridge. There must have been tremendous pressure on the substructure with the debris field and water pressure.

Similar events must have happened in the past to clue in local forecasters of a potential catastrophe. It would unacceptable if local meteorological predications has been curtailed due to lack of funds.

Mother Nature will rule in the end…..
