A Day to Remember, Water Everywhere!
Man I had the craziest day yesterday. The morning started with a lot of sun and heat, but then it turned for the worse. The rain started little by little and then real strong with winds and lighting! It was a pretty nice day to stay home and relax but nuuuuuuuu, I had to take my brother for surgery, then I had to pick up my mom, and then I went shopping. When I finally got home, the streets were flooded and stranded cars everywhere. It even got more scarier when I went to drop my mom off at work. She works in South Beach so the road to get there was just amazing. I wish I knew how it was because I would've brought my camera. Anyways, there were stranded cars everywhere in that area. Some houses had water reaching inside while others were barely saved from the flooding. The reason why cars got stranded is because many cars were driving through the water real fast which is the stupidest thing someone can do. Of course, water will get inside the motor and the result, a busted car. As I was driving, I saw a white ban coming awfully fast from the other direction so I had my window down. I didn't hesitated and pulled the window up as fast as I could but my wife and mom didn't know what was going on so they kept theirs opened. Well the ban didn't stopped and they got wet while I was spared lol. After dropping my mother off at work, I had to head south to pick up my sister from work. That was another crazy journey trying to find the less flooded street and drive through it. South Beach itself was crazy with cars and people going nuts(not sure why). I picked up my sister and we headed back. We were doing OK but the traffic was too much so we decided to try going back the way we came. We were doing good until once again a big car this time a bus drove by us real fast and got the car wet. This time the car wasn't spared as smoke started coming out of the front and I started to freak out! We had to pull over and check things out. I assume that water got inside the engine and that's what it was. I took a cloth and tried to dry it off and waited around ten minutes before trying to turn the car on. The car turned on fine but the smoke kept coming out of the car. The smoke this time had a burned plastic scent so that freaked me out even more. We stopped the car again and waited. As I was waiting, I looked at all the cars passing by and saw that some of them had the same problem but they were driving alright. I decided to take a chance and drove once again. We finally got out of that mess and slowly headed back home. I'm happy to announce that the car is in great condition but I will probably take it for a check up just in case.

That is messed up! Time to buy a boat instead of a car. Glad the car is ok though.
