Furious drivers stranded on I-95 in Virginia for more than 20 hours without gas, food and water are demanding that Governor Ralph Northam speed up rescue efforts as they resort to calling DoorDash in a dire effort to get food.
'We have to find a way to get national guard here. Diabetics and babies down here. People are going die here,' a friend told NBC's Jim Scarborough, who tweeted the quote in a plea to get people rescued faster as the 50-mile stretch of highway south of the nation’s capital was still closed Tuesday morning after six tractor-trailers jackknifed the day before.
Jim DeFede, who has been stuck on the interstate just south of Quantico for the past 24 hours, called I-95 'a complete parking lot' and was growing angry as his woes weren't answered and emergency personnel were not coming to his rescue.
'I don't know who's in charge but somebody better do something because there are cars and families just trapped here this entire time and nobody seems to be coming.
'I haven't seen a state trooper in at least 12 hours. I haven't seen a tow truck in at least 14 hours,' DeFede said in a video posted to Twitter.
Meanwhile, it appeared as though Northam was hoping the sun would help melt the snow and clear traffic. 'Sunlight is expected to help @VaDOT clear the road,' he said on Twitter.
But DeFede said that as of this morning, the road was still covered in ice.(snip)
Virginia State Senator Tim Kaine (snip) revealed that he is one of the people stuck in the snowy pile-up in a tweet early Tuesday that read: 'I started my normal 2 hour drive to DC at 1pm yesterday. 19 hours later, I’m still not near the Capitol.'

How to shut down DC and Fed.gov? You don’t need anything like an EMP.
Just have some truckers block highways 495, 395 and 295
DC is another typically leftist city, probably the worst in fact - produces nothing, are parasites on the work of others, and are completely smug and self-assured about their own superiority and fallacy of control. Thus they are in fact extremely fragile.
And its HILARIOUS seeing commies on twitter blame Youngkin when he’s NOT even Governor yet..cant really blame commies though, they really are that retarded
Virginia State Senator Tim Kaine
Except for the part where Tim Kaine is the US senator from Virginia.
global warming catastrophe
My niece and her husband both work in downtown DC but they live in Loudoun Cty Va which it near Dulles airport.
It takes them an hour to drive to their jobs.
They are looking at a house in W.Va and the Metro train has a station there.
The trip on the metro station in W.Va to downtown DC is just a little over an hour.
Figure that one out. It’s a win win for them. No more driving and the house they want is $350,000 less than a equivelant house in Loudoun cty and way less diversity if you catch my drift.
Logic and common sense aren’t the operative here.....they are DC workers depending on their government! Something has to be done! Biden meanwhile is asking whether his pre-naptime pudding will be tapioca or chocolate....
Simple solution:
Call Door Dash and just hitch a ride with them back home.
Here, I found this in the article:
The snowstorm piled 7 to 11 inches of snow on the US East Coast's main north-south highway
[[Meanwhile, it appeared as though Northam was hoping the sun would help melt the snow and clear traffic]]
If the snow is bad enough to strand that many drivers, sun isn’t going to melt it any time soon. Can’t beleive he even said that. You folks in VA elected him?
Snow = fluffy water....................
One of the reasons why I will NEVER get an electric vehicle.....
Called Door Dash==
THE absolute dumbest thing I have ever heard.
IF your car cannot move or get OUT-—HOW do you expect Door Dash to GET IN??????
IQ of a snail.
Thanks. Yeah that is quite a bit, especially with the inevitable wind drifts. Can’t beleive that northam said thst “he hoped the sun would melt it”... way to take the lead northam!
How many troopers & tow truck drivers got laid off due to Mandates????
Florida!
Low 55, Sunny and 70 right now.
If you run out of gas in a snow jam, they can bring you gas.
If your battery dies in your Tesla?
This is I-95, the North-South corridor for the Eastern seaboard, not Pumpkinville Parkway, and Virginia DOT wouldn't effectively manage it.
“IF your car cannot move or get OUT-—HOW do you expect Door Dash to GET IN??????”
Sounds like Door Dash needs drones.
no sled clubs there?? instead of waiting on the government...
