1. Oh man!

That is going to put a lot of cab drivers out of work...Imagine what it would cost to get them all fixed? Its bad enough that the economy sucks, but this just wiped out a bunch of people from the payrolls.

2. Couldn't the cab company find a parking lot on higher ground?????

With so much information early on about flooding for the life of me can't understand why any cars were parked in areas prone to flooding.

3. Where would they find 40 extra people to drive those to higher ground? n/t

4. The magnitude of the storm has been known for several days so could they not have

made provisions to have the fleet parked elsewhere.

5. I've had rides in worse.
