High Ground Incline

I cut through standing water and powered up the textured concrete ramp of an agricultural feed depot, pulling clear of the ground-level surge. At the crest, an abandoned cast-iron machinery bracket blocked the dry loading alcove. I shifted into low-range crawl, seating my front push bar square against the heavy casting. A steady surge of torque slid the iron two inches back against the brick threshold with a solid scrape. Clearance secured. Chassis parked on dry concrete, four feet above the flooded yard. Rooftop radar dome and anemometer clear of surface spray, logging the night downpour.
