Minnesota Prairie Roots

WHAT’S WITH THE BUS?

I am more than a bit baffled by this school bus graphic used by the KSTP TV weather department to illustrate potential flooding in Minnesota.

I photographed this KSTP flood-bus graphic on my television set Saturday evening.

How does a bus relate to flood forecasting?

Honestly, I don’t know of any bus drivers who would purposely drive students onto or anywhere near a flooded roadway.

So what gives? Can anyone explain this bus graphic aired on Channel 5 news at 10 p.m. Saturday and on previous nights?
