I hope everyone is safe. What a crazy storm we had. Unfortunately I was driving in it. I was on my way home. I was on clay road heading west very close to Eldridge.
Curt my Husband who was already home called me and told me to turn around and seek shelter. There are no businesses from Eldridge to Hickory Downs. From Eldridge to Hickory is about 2 miles. So I turned around and was now heading east on Clay rd. The rain was so heavy and coming in sheets I was barely able to see anything. The wind was so strong my car was rocking. I was very very scared. I was almost to Brittmore when I heard the loudest sound, like an explosion. My car just je**ed to a stop. I had no idea of what just happened. It was pitch black out and raining so hard I could not see anything. My car was stuck and would not move. I thought I hit a car or a car hit me but again I couldn’t tell because I couldn’t see.
It wasn’t until the rain finally let up that I could get out of my car and see what just happened and oh my gosh, I couldn’t believe what my eyes saw. A big tree limb had pierced my car like a sword. It obviously flew through the air at such speed that it went through my car as if it was butter.
It went through the right front wheel and fender, and went up into my engine. I realized at that moment that if it had hit my car just a couple feet higher and over I would have been killed instantly.
So, if everyone is safe, and even if you don’t have electricity, count your blessings I know I have God obviously wanted me to stay on earth a little bit longer
