The strongest storm of this year's monsoon season hit Friday in the late afternoon and into Saturday morning dumped torrential rains along with thunder and lightning.
I was planning to bring the Jeep into Gallup this coming week to get another tire and get a lug replaced that the tire shop broke a week ago. But the storm flooded Historic Route 66 near the McGaffey exit of Interstate 40 near Church Rock. It always manages to get flooded at that spot during powerful storms. As the Jeep has limited speed (around 50 mph.), I don't drive it for very long on Interstate 40, just about two miles at most. Barricades have been erected keeping vehicle traffic out of that section of Route 66.
Once Route 66 gets cleared out and reopens, then I can drive the Jeep into Gallup.
