flooding on Garden State Parkway

I was unfortunately driving on the Garden State Parkway yesterday right at the height of the downpours, and I couldn't help but consider if it was actually the worst driving conditions I had ever driven in.

As I was first hearing of the Garden State Parkway flooding issues northbound yesterday, I was literally passing exit 83, my last chance to get off the Parkway before the traffic. Seconds later, like many of you, I was stuck in the motionless traffic.
