So on a random morning I am preparing for work as usual and I can tell that it is raining pretty hard, but no big deal right? Boy was I wrong. This rain is unlike anything weather wise I have ever experienced, and I survived HUGO!! Water was coming down sideways and it hurt-literally as it hit me in the face, but you run to the car and it's over.
Next comes the lightening with booms so loud my SUV shook-not to mention the paths seemed so close and frequent that it was blinding-my eyes didn't have the chance to adjust-it was like the paparazzi!
As I try and make my way to work, the car in front of me is slowing for no apparent reason, then he stops and makes a U-turn. Then I see why-another car has attempted to drive through a significant amount of water on the street and is now flooded in water above the doors! It was hard to see. Perhaps if he wasn't there I might not have seen it either!?
I only know one route to work so now I have to navigate the city to find my way to work. The weather report on the radio tells me not to go under the interstate as it is also flooded. Of course I call the hospital and make them aware of the situation but that I am making my way. I'm doing pretty good figuring it all out. I have to make a couple of U-turns due to the water levels at various street. In the midst of it all I forget that I drive a SUV (Thank God!) so I was finally able to make it through some water that other cars had to turn around for. I made it safely!
By mid afternoon you could never tell anything at all had happened that morning...
