Luvvie, it’s time to go ahead and call them.

They’re headed for rain between Willcox and Benson and that’s not good this time of year. Hydroplaning is especially a problem.

The key to safely driving here in the monsoon is to keep a goodly distance between yourself and traffic ahead, even if it means slowing way down; don’t hit the brakes on wet pavement; and if you have to get off the highway, get way off and turn your lights off. When visibility is less than 100’ (very common) drivers will follow the taillights ahead of them, not realizing the vehicle ahead has stopped!

The rain storms move quickly, so they aren’t going to lose much time by slowing down.

Good to know. I should have read this first. David is a good driver in rain, but not sure how Krista does. They are responsible, so I trust that they’ll be ok. Maybe they’re through that area now.
