Cycling during a violent storm?
Maybe they were trying to make it home.
Storms near the great lakes can come pretty fast.
Yes, she is an actress which means she has an IQ of about 85 or 86 so cycling during a violent storm is something she would not see as dangerous.
I’ve done it, not on purpose. Things are nice, storm blows in, you’re an hour and a half from home. Happens to me at least once every July. When you make it home safe it’s an awesome feeling, fighting the hard odds.
Did 12 miles.
When I started it was sunny but some clouds in the distance. Half way through I could see clouds getting closer. 3/4's of the way I knew a storm, not just rain, was coming. I made it home, maybe an hour before it hit. But I was very aware it was moving in.
If they were out for a longer ride, its very possible they got caught.
The storm seemed to hop scotch where it hit hard at. My area was dead center of a blast. Trees all around were breaking of LARGE branches or trunks. 3 or 4 blocks in any directions, minor tree damage of little branches broken off. Then friends 3 miles away had the same major damage. They're still without power.
We went for a walk last week; serious storm came up out of nowhere. It happens.
Prayers for her soul, and for comfort for her family.
