So on Saturday we went outside and found our road completely closed. In the afternoon after a quick trip to purchase snow boots for the kids we found out why. A trucker who normally parks his fully loaded Semi on a shoulder by his house had a mishap. The place where he parked has a large shoulder however it is right next to a gully that is really deep. I guess his full load caused the road beneath the semi to give way and either a pipe burst or it just fell away but his semi (trailer and truck) ended up in the bottom of the gully. It took them about 7 hours to empty the semi trailer and another 3 or so to actually lift the trailer and truck out of the gully. It was all really cool and painfully obvious that he shouldn't have ever parked there.
This is Video that Windy shot while her and Matt got a little closer to the action.
