How does a 15 foot, 2000# cement Jersey barrier get washed away? How far off the main road was he?

Counties don’t usually have hundreds of those just laying around for big storms

Our county, which floods yearly have maybe a dozen, and I’ve never seen them used. Flooding often happens before crews can place barricades. Concrete ones require machines that can lift them at the loading point, and the offloading point and trucks than can haul them. An 8’ barricade like they use on highway weigh 4 tons and still can’t be seen easily in the dark

Didn’t you say this was a deserted road? At the end of the day, this was on the driver
