Things witnessed on a Friday night drive

Whoever said nothing ever happens in New Jersey would be wrong tonight:

1. Route 1 & 9 by the Holland tunnel was so flooded, they had to close it off, causing massive traffic.
2. A Ford Explorer burned instensively on the side of the Garden State Parkway as two firetrucks tended to the fire. The heat from the fire was intense enough to reach me (three lanes away) as I passed it. All this while the rain continued to pour on Jersey, for the fifth day in a row.
3. Drunk/depressed adolescent walked along the middle of a dark street as he narrowly escaped collision with various cars at 1 AM. Cops show up and takes him to safety (or jail).
