    Where traffic lights were dark, drivers treated the intersections as four-way stops.

    Good job, North Carolinians.

    My local experience has been that when traffic lights are dark, drivers – who have a questionable understanding of “traffic takes turns a car at a time in clockwise order at a stop sign”, much less “treat a flashing red signal as a stop sign”, much less “treat an out traffic signal as a stop sign” – just enter a state of total confusion and start randomly driving however.

    Heard it’s as bad as Katrina there. Lots of flooding, mud slides, and destruction. Lots of people looking for family members.

      As in, white supremacists and cops murdering unarmed black people that are looking for food and shelter? That kind of bad?

      God I hope not. I do know people are lining up in very long lines for water and basic supplies.
