No kidding, I've seen at least a few extremely bald tires while walking to and from my car in parking lots. I saw a FWD honda with completely bald front tires and wrote them a note hoping they would get some new ones before the wet weather came in. I do not want to find myself next a car like that on a wet freeway.

I had held back so the truck and car next to me could do what they wanted and fall in-line behind the white firetruck. Water was about 6-8" deep in the middle of the stream across the road. Wasn't sure the security camera caught the footage until later on.

They shut the section down for I believe an hour after we made it through.

Yeah that was all true I literally saw that on the other side of 280 near el monte all backed up going to foothill/i drove over woodside and yes it literally felt like a foot of water... power through but it was definitely sketch

280 north to 17 towards santa cruz exit had a ton of water collected in the right lane. I hydroplaned and almost wrecked into a BMW that was parked on the side with front end damage. Im guessing he did the same thing but got unlucky.
