Keeping tabs on Thursday's morning commute

The Minnesota monsoon continues and roads are like the landscape: Waterlogged. Hydroplaning is a definite possibility.

Good morning, commuters!

The Minnesota monsoon continues and roads are like the landscape: Waterlogged. Hydroplaning is a definite possibility.

Standing water has the right lane blocked on Hwy. 280 at Hennepin Avenue in Minneapolis. Earlier minor flooding was reported on I-494 near the Wakota Bridge in Newport.

Slick roads may have led to a spinout on southbound Hwy. 169 near 101st Avenue in Champlin. Meanwhile we have a stalled vehicle on eastbound 94 at Hennepin Avenue.

I'll be keeping an eye on the roads and rails this morning, reporting any delays or issues — and I will need your help.

If you see or hear about any congestion, delays or problems, e-mail drive@startribune or tweet @stribdrive.

As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.

It’s too soon to tell how much the immigration crackdown is to blame.
