Bad Storm

Last night, we tried to veture out to get some dinner.  It had just started to rain when we left the house.  Dingy was driving when we first started.  We stopped to get gas, and the rain got really bad.  I made Dingy let me take over the driving.  We left the gas station and headed toward the bank.  The rain was coming in huge waves.  Then, while we were at a red light, the wind came.  HARD.  It felt like the wind was going to push the van out into the intersection!  We decided we didn't really want to get out of the car to go inside to eat, so we headed back towards home.  In the time that we had made this little circle.....THIS happened!!

That's a huge tree blocking one and a half lanes on the Parkway!  There were about 3 smaller trees down there, too.  By the time we got about a ile away....the rain STOPPED and the sun was trying to come out.  Very, very weird storm.  And thanks to the rain stopping, we were still able to go eat and Red Robin...YUM!  :)
