Amazing video of a massive storm drain erupting in the center of a freeway.
This is one of the most incredible things i have seen on YouTube. It is a traffic cam pointed at a huge manhole cover in the center of a 6-lane highway. The first few seconds and it just looks like a rainy highway at night. Then all of the sudden, the manhole erupts like a massive geyser, sending the huge cover - 6 feet wide at least, into the middle of the roadway where a car crashes into it. The unbelievable power of water.

1. Even scarier...
it happened TWICE, once when the guy who hit the cover was out of his car looking at it. At the end you can see him running away. Talk about bad timing, he got it twice!
