I hope everyone got through this last weekend's worth of weather safe and sounds. That was a heck of a storm. Gods knows we need the rain but that was something else.

I drove through the storm since my mate needed new glasses and it was a holiday and it would have been perfect day to get him new glasses. The driving was interesting...I haven't driven that slow on Texas 71 ever. 35 mph with the E-blinkers on (going slow and they make you more visible). I was worried it would be unsafe to be going that slow until I realized there were a couple of sports cars around me, doing exactly the same thing. When we got to the mall, I let my mate out and went to park the car. When I was getting out of the car, there was a lightening flash and then a thunder clap, so loud and so close, I could hear the lightening sizzling across the sky. It was that close. It also foiled our glasses plans. The mall had started to shut down due to a tornado warning. The eye doctor had gone home. So we walked around the mall for a little bit and then went to my parents house. The storm had moved on by then.

I shot two videos of the previously dry ravine by my parents house.

The scariest part of the whole day was the drive home. Rain requiring the windshield wipers to full and crawling along the road is one thing...horror movie grade fog is quite another. The drive home was a lot of that sucks the light out of everything fog.
