RuninRoach, I'm glad you made it out alive. That's wicked scary.

In my situation I had to leave because that picture was taken where I park. The storms were still far from over. If I waited, the asphalt island my RX was sitting on would have been gone. There were already a few cars nearby that had water up to the bottom of the doors. Going home I hit two bad spots within a mile, both at intersections. I made sure I stopped before to avoid sitting in water and let other cars pass in the opposite direction to avoid the waves. Believe me, I know how insidiously powerful water can be. I have no plans to take my RX swimming again. He likes playing in the snow more anyway

Welcome to summer in south Alabama. It can be like that every day here. Two to three inches of rain in a few hours and back to a blue sky

Had something like that happen to us yesterday except with tree brances. A tornado warning was issued for our area and we went to the basement just in case, just when i remember the lexus is parked outside. after listening to the wind and berating myself, i go out an hour later and all the broken are just surrounding the car nothing but a couple leaves.
