Y'all...got stuck on a high freeway bridge last night in 80mph winds. Lightning struck right nearby and I have never been in a sketchier driving situation in my life.

Got a "Tornado Warning, take cover immediately" warning...and 30 seconds later it all went dark. Insane.


I'm sure a bourbon and cigar was needed after that mess.

We no longer get April and May showers we get these violent storms instead.

Glad you made it out ok, up on a freeway like that you really don't have anywhere to go. Can't get out of the car and crawl into a ditch.

My wife's main office in Houston is closed due to lack of power.

I understand we're expecting another round this evening

On the Interstate in the right lane wife driving, a tractor-trailor starts pulling into our lane from the shoulder. I say "watch the truck" the response "what truck" "the f...ing truck that you're about to run into" I was reminded that I have a "bad attitude"

Times like that call for an ice cold coors light.

Time to upgrade and get a car with a collision avoidance alert. It will take years off your marriage.
