Yesterday's record-breaking heat buckled a pair of concrete slabs in the roadway on Severn Avenue at 16th Street in Metairie, launching several vehicles into the air about 4:15 p.m.
"I must have come down from I don't know how many feet in the air," said Carolyn Elliot of Metairie, whose four-door green Cadillac careened off a 3-foot-high hump. "I saw lots of people in my rearview mirror flying through the air."
Actually this is not an uncommon phenomenon this time of year. For example, I posted a link to this action photo nearly two years ago to the date. Note also the ironic title of that post. Who knew we'd actually be hearing the all-too-serious version of that phrase one year later?
