I can't imagine what a hellish commute that was.

Keeping my yap shut here.

All I can think is "What about the third rail?"

During the heatwave here they had to shut down the MAX lines because the heat was causing trouble for the overhead wires.

Third rail was my *second* thought. My first was, hell no, you could not PAY ME enough to wade through gross subway water.

I saw a mention of this on Twitter but didn't realize it was that high. *winces at the thought of young children and people with guide dogs or assistance dogs*

I keep thinking, as I hear Wall Street business moguls arguing that mitigating climate change is "too expensive", what they'll say as the lower floors of their buildings go under water.

Ugh. And how many workplaces, I wonder, were still insisting their employees come in to work even if it meant risking the floods.
