[QUOTE="Andy, post: 164694, member: 5096"] I live in Northern MN. We had a storm come through this morning. easy child and a friend decided to take the friend's 7 month old baby and drive to a town an hour from here (on the freeway). I called easy child several times this morning to tell her to stay in town. Then we heard a semi truck (maybe two) was blown over in the wind on the interstate near town. Still she will not listen. I call husband, "Please call her and tell her to stay in town." His reply? "I don't care if she goes." (sounds like one for the You might be a man if .... thread). I called easy child back. She tells me they are not going - that they have already figured it out - they are not stupid like I am. I said, when did you figure it out, when you got to the freeway and were turned back? "No, dad told me - he is smarter than you are." (and who told dad???? He wouldn't of done this without being asked) Then, I get a call that easy child and friend and baby are going anyway - they heard the freeway closure did not effect them and that weather was just fine (for this second). We are suppose to get gusty winds off and on all day. Just plain STUPID!!! On the way home from work (12:30 pm), the traffic was horrific - I think EVERYONE was out and about - probably driving around surveying the damage (before the storms are over). There was an endless stream of vehicles coming into town and turning on a certain road and other roads had endless streams of traffic also - I am wondering if the East bound lane of freeway was closed and they were diverting traffic to town to the next freeway access? I want the girls to be safe, but I also almost hope that something happens to scare them enough to respect dangerous weather and know that if you can avoid disaster it is a good thing. [/QUOTE]
