I drove through a MONSTER storm yesterday.
So apparently it wasn't supposed to rain yesterday and then all of a sudden, we were getting a severe thunderstorm and we are supposed to watch for changing conditions...that was an understatement. It was funny because when I was walking to my car to leave work I was like, "Oh the sky is a little dark out that way - good thing I'm leaving now so I can beat it out of here." Yeah, I got about 10 minutes down the road, looked in my rearview and the sky was black, and it was coming up on us quick. So, as I'm sitting in traffic - it finally starts to break loose as we realize we are allowed to drive around the accident that had occurred - the clouds start to come over us. I had my windows down and the music was up loud as always when the wind was the first thing to hit. I'm driving through this one intersection when all the debris from the road go swept up through the air like a mini tornado and it comes barreling through the windows at me. Either a piece of plastic or a piece of glass hit me right in the face. It was freakin crazy! So, the winds blowing really bad and there's debris all over the road, branches and leaves, peoples porch pillows. But the rain didn't hit yet. And I'm just thinking if I can get out ahead of the stretch, I can beat it. I got about 10 mins away from my exit when the rain hit. It was coming down so hard and so fast I thought it was hailing too honestly. The skinnier trees standing behind the guardrails were literally bending in half from the force of the wind. I could feel the car being pushed around the road while I attempted to stay in my lane. And it was one of those rains where even the fastest windshield wipers don't work. You just can't see - even the person in front of you with their lights on. There was nothing but darkness, heavy mist in the air, brief lighting from brake lights, and thick rain. The temperature had dropped from 94 to 79 in the snap of a finger. I stayed behind a van towing a trailer because I knew he would hit the large water puddles first and blow them out before I would run through them since there was so much water flooding the roads. I can't believe I road that for an hour - the whole way from the city to home. The amount of debris on the road was insane. It was a good two hours or so to cuddle up to a horror movie honestly. It was perfect for that. Stay safe out there && as always, I appreciate ya! Comments are closed.
