MCSD NIXLE goes berserk

Does the McHenry County Sheriff's Department really think that it needs to broadcast the same NIXLE alert about water on roads three times between 9:34AM and 11:01AM?

"Roadways impacted by Heavy [sic] rain. Beware of high standing water. Avoid roads that are closed."

Once was enough. Maybe "once" wasn't even needed. If you are driving down a road and see it is flooded, most drivers will stop or at least slow down. If you are dumb enough to drive through high water, you deserve to get stranded. Following traffic will see you and stop.

Call a tow truck. No cops are needed. Geez!

Big Brother is not needed.
