Just talked to my uncle again. EMA is actually using him as an official runner now. He is one the only ones able to get around. He is going window to window knocking on cars parked on the interstate looking for the elderly. They have a much harder time keeping warm.
I have a 9 month old, and if it hadn't been for the fellow that helped us, I don't know what we would have done. The state troopers are seen almost daily on 20/59 writing tickets, but funny thing, I didn't see a god damn one on the way home this day. The good citizens like your uncle are the only ones who were there to help, and by god it meant a lot to me and my wife.

Yep, we have a 5 month old and if it weren't for an awesome stranger with a 4wd truck we would have had to walk 3 miles from my truck to our house.
My next truck/SUV will have 4wd.

You can bet they were out. They were just overwhelmed. I am a volunteer firefighter in Elmore county. We got dispatched to a wreck with entrapment just before noon. Over three hours and four wrecks later I got back home for lunch - and we are just a little rural station in a little rural county. It was the same way all across the state.
The missed timing in the forecast created a cluster on such an epic scale that responders just did not have a chance.
