I've seen it all?

I've spent a lot of time over the years as an observer, and I've seen a lot of different things from funny to sad and everywhere in between. Just when I start thinking I've seen everything, somebody has to grab me, slap me in the face, and say, "watch this."

This was the case on Sunday when the storms hit Toledo. I was running hither and yon like a madman, trying to shoot everything I could. Finally, our desk sent me to Franklin Street near Bancroft. Three cars were stranded in water halfway up the doors. I waded in (with hipwaders... a blog about that is forthcoming) and shot video of a guy pushing a car out of the water. Once the car is free of the water, I started to try to talk the guy into an interview. While we're talking, I hear someone yell "You shoulda bought a Honda!!!!" from behind me. I turned around and watched this set of hysterical events transpire...

NOW, I think I've seen it all. Who's going to prove me wrong?
