Weather and Your Car in Ensley and Pratt City
Village Creek runs through Ensley and the low ground around it, and after a heavy rain the creek can rise fast and put water over the low streets nearby. A car driven through that water can soak its brakes and wiring or stall with water near the intake. If the engine stalls, do not keep cranking it. Call and let the mechanic check it first.
Many cars here are older and parked outside, so summer heat and sun dry out belts, hoses and wiper blades and wear batteries down. Rough streets and rail crossings wear out shocks, struts and ball joints faster than smooth roads, and a car that clunks over the tracks is telling you a suspension part is loose.
