Good day to be car-free.
You didn't mention hail the first time around...that is when a helmet comes in handy to get you to a quick shelter and even if driving I will seek shelter. I was in a hail storm in the Dakotas years ago that was shattering car windows, when it first started we pulled over and were glad we did. Saw some vehicles that looked like they had been gone over with a sledge hammer of base ball bat.
