Photos were taken by Ross Fotheringham. Here is how he describes this occasion: "On Thursday October 18th Western Washington was hit with a 50+ MPH wind storm. Here are my pictures of the event. After work I made my way down to the Mukilteo Lighthouse Park where I witness the Mukilteo to Clinton ferry taking a pounding. These Issaquah 130 Class ferries are over 300 feet long and 78 feet wide and weight in at 2477 tons (4,954,000 lbs) unloaded......" link "During storms like this the crew plots a course which puts the ferry in the least vulnerable position, but at some point they have to change course, and when they did Puget Sound made up for lost time. After this run the ferry system stopped running at full capacity and ran 1/2 empty for the rest of the night. Note that there are no longer cars visible in the last shot. I'm sure they were washed into the cars behind them." Permanent Link... |

I guess when you aren't relying on traffic lights to regulate things you are forced to pay attention to what the cars around you are doing.
I far as I can tell the text in the corner of that picture translates to: "Lightning Models on the Front".
And it turns out it's some sort of film... :-/

Blitz is the name for the tactic de nazi's used in the first stage of WW2 (Blitz-Krieg=Lightning War)
Mädeln means something like 'girls, ladies'
And the logo on their shirt is the logo of the Third Reich
Thank you for the info! I updated the post :0
Those St. Petersburg cars are having to deal with ice in many of the crashes; you can tell by the glide. However, many of them are also driving too fast for the conditions. "Drive as though you have no brakes— because you don't."
