Weather channel had a 70% chance of rain today plus it was heavy clouds this morning so I drove the Suburban to work.
I work 7 -4:30 and was kicking myself in the ass as it cleared up and was sunny. Until 3:30 when some clouds moved in.
about 4:20 I heard thunder as I was getting ready to leave. :tremble:
I got into the suburban at 4:40, it was 78* and it was lightning towards my 18 mile drive home.
After 4 miles, it started to rain extremely heavily. By 5 miles, I had to slow to 15-20 mph because of the heavy hailstorm I was in. I was in pea to grape size hail and was wondering if 20 mph was going to bust my winshield. :tremble: The temp dropped to 52*
A few miles up the road I literally considered pushing the button for 4wd as I was driving in 1-1/2" of hail on the road. :lol
The roads were flooded and all kinds of debris had washed onto the road. A few miles later I was out of the heavy storm and by about 6 miles from home, the sun was out :wtf:
Two miles from home the roads were completely dry and it didn't even rain at home :skep:
I guess I lucked out by not riding
