Today for the first time in 23 years, Clovis Unified called a Foggy Day Schedule. We ultimately ended up on a four hour delay, which made our classes, for the few students who came, about 15 minutes each. Something I've always been bothered by is that if it is so foggy that they believe it is unsafe for school busses to run, why on earth do they think it is safe for regular cars to be out on the road? The parents who drive their little ones? Young teen drivers navigating foggy roads for the first time? School employees? Y'all, none of us can see 10 feet ahead of us in those conditions. In fact, I found out that one of my students got into a horrific accident on her way to school this morning. She was transported to the hospital in critical condition. It breaks my heart for her and for her family! In addition, in the evening Rafe and I drove out of town to Palm Springs. We thought we'd drive out of the fog, but there were still huge patches of it all the way to Bakersfield. On the other side of the freeway near Tulare, we saw a big rig totally engulfed in flames after a wreck. I just hope the driver made it out. Stay safe on those roads, all!
