    ****

    Overexpansion, cost cutting, corrupt government. It's almost like they're capitalists.

    I was thinking deep inland away from super large bodies of water. Is this some sort of record occurrence? Excuse my ignorance of weather disasters around the world, but when I think of this stuff happening I think of coastal location where significant bodies of water help generate the storm.

    Basically the tunnel was flooding and the toll booths were still collecting toll fees instead of letting people through. That's just tragic.
