I was on vacation last week, and several activities that have required a car this week, so commuting has been rather limited lately. I did commute on Monday and nearly came face to face with a tornado on the way home. I kept an eye on the forecast, but guess I should have watched the radar more closely. I had a great tail-wind and still thought I could be the storm home, but came up about 2-miles short. Suddenly the wind turned from a nice tail-wind to a ferocious head-wind and I could see a wall of water headed my way just up the road. I was close to a bridge that offered below-grade shelter and decided I should probably head there. I just made it under the bridge before all hell broke loose. Crazy wind with an unbelievable amount of rain coming from the sky. However, I was dry and protected from the wind... so all was good. My wife wanted to come get me, but I told her I was fine and I'd wait out the storm where I was. She finally came to pick me up about 45-minutes later after the wind and lightening died down a bit. Found out later a tornado was spotted very close to my location. Yikes! The low-quality picture is me under my bridge 'storm shelter'.
