Yesterday me and DG were at the warehouse and it started raining and hailing (out of nowhere!!!) and lighting and crazy weather and stuff... now mind you it was a really nice day all day.. beautiful actually... so we leave and are headed home so we get on the interstate and the 90 was jammed up (solidly!!!) no movement at all...
I am no maybe 100 feet on the 90 and i see sideways rain and the van (8'7" tall x-wheelchair van... <yup the short bus>) starts rocking... REALLY ROCKING!! and there's the rain like horizontal shit... REALLY FREAKY SHIT! all of a sudden i remembered watching TWC and they were saying that if you see Horizontal rain RUN! ur Close to a tornado! so I start looking.... my next words were HOLLY FUCK! it was maybe 100 feet from me picks up a Tractor trailer and drops the SOB on the median blocking all 6 lanes of the interstate....leaps over the 90 and comes down maybe like 100-120 feet away! I start to freak out.. (I can run into a burning building, but ill be damned if im messing with a twister! (I seen that movie!!) so I figure ill out run the fucker! worrying about the wind flipping my van... I turn to hit the shoulder. the turn made the van more aerodynamic and the van stopped rocking! DG still looking for the twister (hard to see as it just touched back down it was just restarting to pick up dirt and trees... she finally sees the thing and POW! it takes the transformer out! THEN WE BOOGIE! I get home... all excited!! (aka scared shitless!!!) and i call the girl at work and ask if they are ok... she was on lunch and coming back using Union near William st... in cheektowaga and she seen it in the rear-view mirror and watches it tip a construction trailer behind her she floors it back to the warehouse. it skips over the building and lands on the homes and business across the street... morale of the story...
