But, a whole lot safer than driving on the elevated roads!!! Oh, and no one wanted to take my picture as I was frantically moving furniture and pulling up carpets.

I loved the picture you painted. Thank God you...Ha! I loved the picture you painted. Thank God you were safe. I HATE driving on ice!<br /><br />I had a similar experience once (1999 or 2000?), though less nerve-wracking. I was driving home from work through downtown Fort Worth during rush hour, and the highway was utterly deserted. I didn't even notice it at first because I was so focused on listening to my audio book. <br /><br />Suddenly I realized I was alone, and I looked at the sky, which as an odd yellowy gray color. I could also hear the furious chatter of tons of birds. I flipped on the radio and immediately heard one of those disaster recordings, only it wasn't a drill. We were having a tornado! <br /><br />I was so terrified, but I made it home, about 10 minutes away, without any problems. I hid in the closet with my husband and son until it was safe to come out. <br /><br />I later found out that I passed through Fort Worth just a couple of minutes before a bunch of giant buildings were seriously damaged. <br /><br />I felt so stupid and so lucky.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09091216096297798587noreply@blogger.com
