[Big B Hova]

Stuck in crazy traffic between Newberry springs and Ludlow. Shows traffic all the way to 95. This is all because of the 15 closed im guessing

[Big B Hova]

Lots of people in tesla's freaking out. Saw this guy flip a bitch and get stuck.

Saw another one in the sand wash

Just because a car might be AWD doesn’t mean it can go anywhere.

I passed several Teslas on the 40 yesterday going 50-55 trying to make it to the next charger, I filled up in Flagstaff and drove home and made it with 40 miles left in the tank, I made to Flagstaff in one tank as well. It sucks driving driving past super charger after super charger in my ICE truck

My 3 hour drive took 6! Finally pulled off Kelbaker and used the (closed) National Trails Highway. Wagon Wheel in Needles had all chargers full and 6 in the street waiting to charge. DQ chargers were full too 6:45pm.

I think you missed a 1 there somewhere in your temp report. Sure you didn't mean 189 deg.?

 

[zhandfull]

Guess it was a good decision to leave yesterday afternoon.

Today sounds like a real shitshow.

 

[Big B Hova]

10 hours to go 279 miles. Bruh.

 

[4Waters]

If you’re going to Vegas I-15 closed north again!!!

 

[Havalife]

Left Convict Lake (by Mammoth) yesterday at 8:30 should have been home by 2, pulled in garage at 5. Luckily I have ICE so 1 tank got me home no problem.

ICE: internal combustion engine I assume?

Yes

 

[boatpi]

I 15 north is closed again just north of Yermo looks like they’re gonna probably try to unload that crash yesterday with lithium batteries or put out a fire or what but it may be a long time

 

[goshen82]

Me and my brother went through it yesterday on our way home from north Idaho we were going south on 15 it costs us about an hr in traffic at 6 last night. The truck was still flipped over and there was a container still on fire when we went through. There was prob 10 miles of cars stopped going north to Vegas

 

[DRYHEAT]

What a mess! Feel bad for you guys that have to be on the road this weekend.

How's the traffic to the river now? Google Maps isn't really showing a delay.

Still fucked

 

[78Southwind]

Is the 40 east unfucked now since they opened the 15 north?

 

[monkeyswrench]

My wife and kids left Cali yesterday to come home. She stopped by her Aunt's in the high desert, left there at 1. Stopped in Barstow to eat, then called me to ask about traffic

Left there at 3. She figured, at the time, it showed a wreck. I said it was still backed up from the 15. Well, she went for it. At 3:30 am they pulled over in Seligman and slept for an hour or two. They got home a little after 6 this morning.

All said and done, something like 15 hours to make it from the high desert. Usually 5, maybe 6 plus food break

What a nightmare. The wife is leaving this afternoon for Havasu.... Hopefully she has no issues.

 

[Hallett]

Me and the family left Knott Berry Farm farm at
4:00 pm Friday Pulled into the driveway in Havasu at 6 AM Saturday morning.

 

[monkeyswrench]

With the 15 open, should be a lot better in a few hours. Lots of semis lining the highway. Wife said last night you couldn't see any signs or mile markers because of them. Once they get to rolling, it will just be the normal one lane bridge issue to deal with.

 

[702sandman]

we left sandiego yesterday morning and decided to take the 215 north to the 10 east out to Blythe up to Vidal then needles back to vegas. It was wide open no delays except 20 pee stops for the grand kids

Wife & I stayed in Barstow last night. We left Barstow at 5:15 this morning and took us 4 hours to get to Havasu. The delay at that time was an extra 1.5 hours. It looked like thousands of trucks on the shoulder for most of the 40. As soon as the trucks start rolling it going to be a mess. Side note-Home 2Suite was nice & Oggi’s in Barstow is legit! Great pizza!!

 

[DB / HAV]

Also, no fuel in Ludlow as of this morning

How easy would it be to completely fuck LA with multiple semi "accidents" like this on a few more arteries?

Between 5-20 depending on how picky you wanna be lol.

 

[monkeyswrench]

How easy would it be to completely fuck LA with multiple semi "accidents" like this on a few more arteries?

The 15 is a major economic artery. These past few days have probably had a pretty large impact. 4 or 5 well placed and loaded semis could wreck the economy pretty quick. Lithium fires burn a long time, are difficult to extinguish and burn hot enough to cause damage to concrete and rebar. 5, 15, 10, and 8...all have fairly remote choke points. We've seen it with flood damage, or wrecks, I'm sure others have noticed as well.

That would be terrible. Fucking LA fucks up most of the country. There is a pretty important port connected to LA.

 

[zhandfull]

Havasu to Rancho Cucamonga in about 4 hours this morning. East bound was moving good too.

My Havasu neighbor reported 12 hour drive Corona to Havasu Friday night. They rolled in about 3am Saturday morning. Brutal!

 

[bilz]

With the bitchen weather, just roll down the windows and relax.

Just think, if the San Andreas Fault goes, we could lose I10, I15 and I5. It would be more than just the roadway, a whole bunch of bridges are going to fall down. Probably not in my lifetime though, but something to think about.
