Twiggyish | Saturday, October 12, 2002 - 10:33 am     That is awful. I read an article which stated the heavy fog that morning. The cars just piled up on top of each other. My prayers are with the families. |

Teatime | Saturday, October 12, 2002 - 06:58 pm     We had the same kind of pea soup fog that morning and it was too easy to imagine the same thing happening here. I immediately thought of you, KL as you are the only person I "know" from Wisconsin. Take care. |
Cricket | Sunday, October 13, 2002 - 04:58 pm     I live about an hour north of Sheboygan and was horrified by the crash. The weather warmed up considerably (70's that day) which caused the fog. I saw the victims' names last night on our local news and there was a father and son killed in 2 separate cars. This is so sad for all the family members and friends of the victims. Where do you live KL? I'm in Green Bay. |

Gail | Sunday, October 13, 2002 - 06:28 pm     This looked terrible on the news. I know we get some pretty bad fog here but nothing like they were talking about in Wisconsin that day. They showed someone being interviewed saying he couldn't see 5 feet past his windshield. The scary thing is, you can't pull off onto the shoulder because then you will get smacked too. |
Cricket | Sunday, October 13, 2002 - 07:45 pm     Yes, KL...the PACK is back! Gail, you're right. They may have gotten smacked on the side of the road too. My husband said he heard some people got out of their cars, but were still injured or killed by the fire that ensued. Has anyone else heard anything like that? I used to live in CA and many horrible car accidents happened because of fog. It's rare here and so dangerous. I'll take snow any day over fog. |
