I want to make sure nobody was anywhere near the terrible pile-up on I-4 in Polk County.

Please drop a note to let me know you're okay

Thanks for asking--I'm all the way south, but heard about the awful wreck. What happened exactly--do they know?

[cb977]

Very thick smoke from a controlled burn combined with very thick fog led to disaster. The last I heard there were a total of 70 cars involved in accidents along a 14 mile stretch of I-4. The main one was a 50 car pile-up and the other 20 were scattered around in smaller crashes. Death toll so far is 4. What a nightmare...and it's on a major roadway so I'm very concerned about anybody who may have been traveling through there.
They've issued a Highway Advisory Alert because with I-4 being shut down for who-knows-how-long, all of the other roads will be getting the overflow.

I hope all of our friends and their families are okay.

Well, you scared me half to death. Went straight to the phones to find out about my parents. Thankfully, they don't even know where I-4 is. Hehe. Thanks Sue!!
