Unbelievable!

Driving back home to Troy from Nashville this afternoon we got caught in the most unbelievable traffic mess!

Coming up I-75 in KY we see the Mileage sign that says (32) Miles to Cincinnati.

That is where it all started.

(3) HOURS LATER we FINALLY crossed the river!!

Yes, I said THREE HOURS!

That is an AVERAGE of (10) Miles PER HOUR for THREE FRIGGIN HOURS!! There weren't any accidents. Just about 25,000 cars going Northbound

(3) HOURS to travel (32) MILES!

Any you'all get caught up in that mess too ??

Sounds like leaving a Nascar race.

I got caught behind a nasty accident on 71 just south of Verona yesterday as well. It looked like someone was driving way too fast on wet roads and lost control. It appeared they cross the median things got worse from there. We didn't have to sit very long, maybe 20-25 minutes but south bound traffic was back up more than 5 miles when they let us through and there was no sign they were going to get to go anytime soon.

I was amazed there wasn't more road-ragers acting up in all that mess. People were more restrained than usual.
