I coulda drowneded!
September 5, 2009 by Hawk.
Oh My… you would not believe what I just had to drive through! I’ve been putting off going visitin’ for a while, when my friends were home it was raining or was about to. Nothing on the radar when I left, I checked. I got there and we started watching some football and then. “Did you hear thunde..Hey, look the sky is pitch {THUNDER}{THUNDER}{THUNDER} black!”
In case you didn’t know, the driver side window on my car don’t go up no more.
So I grabbed my coat and hat (figuratively…) and bid my friends a hasty adieu’. I didn’t make it. I didn’t make it a mile. For a minute it looked like I was going to be able to drive around the corner of the storm… HA! At least half the sixteen mile ride home I did in as close to zero visibility as you can get and still be stupid enough to drive. My eyes hurt from staring at the tail lights of the car in front of me.
Flooding, hydro planing, lovely people speeding by in the inside lane or going the other way and kicking up blinding rooster tails. There was three inches of water on the road in front of my house! I literally squoze over a pint of water out of my shirt. I was soaked. I was drenched. I was Beguzzled! Flapdapterpasted! Wet even…
You’ll be happy to know that by the time I got a dry pair of shorts on it had almost completely stopped raining…
The rain gods hate me. Check out the radar loop. The red line of storms leading South West from Melbourne is the exact route I had to drive.
