Strut10 Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Thursday nite me, my dad & brother went to look at a tractor. On the way home (all 40 miles) there was a blizzard so intense we had to stop dead on the road for ZERO visibility several times. There was so little visibility, at one point, where the snow was blowing/drifting across the road, (my brother was driving. I was in the back seat)........he stopped the Jeep for lack of visibility. When he started to move, I thought he was backing out of the blowing snow. He was actually going forward!!! I had no idea until we came out of the snow frontwards. Talk about disorientation!!! About 6 miles from home, in the midst of the white-out..........there was thunder claps and lightning bolts!!!! The whole sky would light up but you couldn't see a thing. Just a bright white-out. I've not seen a lightning/blizzard combination more than a couple times. But this was definitely the worst one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the same storm Thursday nite, in the town right up the road, a woman drove straight through a turn on main street and straight through a resturaunt. Straight in the front wall. Straight through. Straight out the back. The palce never had drive-thru service before............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
