Not to make light of what is going on in Utah or where you are at, but weather related disasters are nearly a daily thing somewhere in the US. Be it floods, droughts, fires, hurricanes, hail, blizzard, tornadoes etc. Where I live, we've had three near misses in the last ten years from tornadoes. We were lucky but our neighbors not as much. Thankfully just property damage and no deaths/injuries. It sucks and it's only going to get worse/suck more.

Those are those difficult jobs that I would never take on.

Yeah, it used to not be reported as much. When I was a kid we narrowly missed the Guadalupe river flood of 72. Killed 11 people and the water was so high dead livestock was stuck in the trees. It may have made the back of the fold in the Houston papers.

Now so I don't drift this thread too far off topic here's my four lame takes on the race.

1. Hammi hit Max on purpose to bump in wide
2. Hammi had a fair penalty imo
3. Drove an amazing race to finish
4. I still think Max will win the Championship

Yesterday : 12 miles from my home in the river Meuse ...
A body floated on the water . Face down in the river !
Identify who he was , was impossible . Rats ripped his face and hands apart !
Male . Mid 20 YO . He was missing in the Belgian Ardennes by the floodings . He traveled +/- 25 miles over the water ..
DNA case !

"RIP"

Honestly ...I'm still lost in words !

I wouldn't say no to a flooded 911 and it doesn't have to be a turbo

It's like from horror movie as you describe only for ''real''. The poor young man was probably knocked out by flash flood and drowned carried by water, may he RIP.

I don't deny it would be a challenge.

Regarding the HONDA PU ...
I mean tomorrow It's already wednesday , and the clock is ticking !
If it is repairable , they still have to fly it over from Japan and that's + one more day !
After 10 days ..I think It's a mission impossible !

May be x ray testing parts which is why taking so long.

Yeah .Can be . Just to be sure . But after tomorrow It's only 1 day away from the first practice .
To fly it over, that's 12 + hours . And the PU still Isn't build in the chassis .
I have a bad feeling ...Japan won't take the risk .I think a new PU is required .

So true, so true; but it is a Porsche! The ultimate "project" car (that will never be completed).

The chances that Hamilton's penalty will be increased are pretty much zero.
If nothing else if it was, it would mean that Red Bull would bunch up their panties and run crying to the FiA every time something didn't go their way.
The times that the FiA have changed their minds about a penalty are few and far between and usually to the detriment of the team complaining.
Red Bull need to put on their big boy pants and stop whining.
