I have literally seen that happen for many roads recently “repaired” by the poorer county to the south of mine. They don’t seal them or repave them; they drop a bunch of loose gravel into the potholes which just gets thrown out after a few hours of vehicles driving over it and widens the potholes.
Never lived in South Carolina? It shows. Road functions. Barely. Then the afternoon rainstorm happens. Then the road fails. Giant pothole, sinkhole, 36 inch tree fell, it’s two feet under water, road no longer exists because it was washed out, bridge suddenly missing. Happens all the time.
I used to think Hampton Roads / Tidewater was bad with its water depth markers on the edge of roads to let you know if you were about to drive your tail pipe or be completely submerged. But then I moved to Lesser Carolina. Whole new level of difficulty.
Went to a convention for the weekend. Getting back took four times as long as we had to consult every available live resource to see what roads were open and still existed. Because hurricanes are a thing that happens here.
So, in summary, fuck yes. Roads fall apart in two days.
I know the movie. My friends used to joke that I would try to recreate it in real life. But I felt that I needed to demonstrate exactly how the roads fail in two days.
You telling me the street fell apart in two days?

It was a quote from Falling Down (the movie in the post) but that fucking sucks :(
Looks like you’re not alone!
