Meg, 2 Hours Ago I Drove from the Metroplex to the King's Ranch in a Downpour of Rain and Strong Winds, and whenever a Truck would Go By on the Other Side of the Road, Water would be Thrown onto my Car, Momentarily Obscuring the Sight of Everything. I'm not Used to Driving in Storms, so I was Crawling Along at 45 Miles an Hour until I Got the Hang of how to Manuver the Car in the Downpour, Lol. Several People had Parked their Cars on the Side of the Road, and I Almost Decided to Join them, but Kept Moving, although it was Scarey.

I Hope Everyone is having a Good Day.

We are happy you made it home safely! If the storm was really bad, I probably would have pulled over for a little while! It is dangerous with a lot of water on the pavement! All turned out well though!

Glad you made it through that downpour okay, {{{Kitty Mittens}}}. I’m sure you were praying and that helped:-).

This reminds me of being in the high desert of Arizona during monsoon season. We were driving (a van) through a storm so heavy, there was zero visibility in front of us, so our driver did pull over to the side of the road. Thank God we weren’t caught in a flash flood but we experienced a couple of gully-washers like that. Very scary.

You did great.

Good evening, Kitty Mittens.

We don’t get many real downpours here so when we do, the roads are a mess. We do not know how to drive in snow or rain. Heck .... Californians have trouble driving in the sun. ;^ )

So happy to hear that you made it home safely.

I am glad you made it through!I have been caught in scary storms like this..I had to pull over finally one time.
That storm missed us. I would like a good rain..but not while I’m driving.

A gray fox just came and dined on the raccoon leftovers.
