Default Saddlebrook Tunnel

The tunnel as of 7:30 tonight had 2ft of water due to that wild thunderstorm this afternoon. I notified Community Watch as my husband noticed a driver entering the tunnel who of course couldn't see the cement dividers as they were submerged hit the dividers and almost flipped. Community Watch was aware of the flooded tunnel however there were no warnings of any kind. I was told that a barricade would be put up.

Is that the one that crosses under by the polo area? If it is it was a lot deeper this afternoon. It flooded the last big rain we had. Hopefully they will clean out the drains. They have been cleaning out the others.

That's sad because about 7pm we came down that way and couldn't get through so we crossed the street at the light(we have a street legal). We went down to the Polo Ridge Gate and informed the man there about the problem. We said specifically that they needed to get some barricades up before someone drove in there. But apparently not fast enough.....

Our's is not street legal so we turned around and went back thru parr and up thru tall trees area back up to polo. It had gotten deeper by then. All the other tunnels we crossed thru were dry as bone in the sahara.
