Warning for I-75 Drivers!

[The Mom]

Anyone planning on driving down/up I-75 in the next week or so (hopefully, not longer) should check to make sure it isn't closed in Florida (outside of Gainesville) due to smoke, especially at night. If possible, only travel the Florida stretch during the day.

There have been over 10 deaths due to accidents in the last 48 hours, with many more injuries. Be careful!

Yeah, that hit a bit close to home. I am heading down from here to Disney on wed afternoon.

Was shocked to see the horrible pileup around Gainesville on a local newscast up here in Canada. Devastating, to say the least. We just had a huge one a few miles from my city last week due to snow though. Sadly, neighbours of my parents perished in ours up here.

Travel safely people heading down that way.
