I remember driving from KC Mo to Bryan Tx, in a day. Got to just north of Dallas, was on a two lane highway where the truckers were hauling butt. Now mind you, I'm in my '68 BMW 1600, so not a very big car. It's raining cats and dogs too and I'm driving going into the sun which was out about ten miles up the road. Each time a trucker passes the other way, my windshield is obliterated with water/mud/and sand from the road for about 20 seconds or so, as the wipers just couldn't keep up.
As I'm trying to stay in my lane and hope no one comes into it from the other direction, I see a turtle crossing the road on my side. Luckily its in the middle of my lane so no maneuvering is required to miss it. For the next hour or so all I could think about was what a mess it was going to make if it got run over by one of the semi's.
When I reached my grannie's place they were sure glad to see me. Turns out there was a tornado warning out for the storm I drove thru up near Dallas. No wonder it was raining so hard.
