🤦

So first, I have to go to the Dentist for a crown. Ugh

Then, as I'm driving home...it starts raining pretty hard...so I slow down. Then it starts raining harder. So I slow down even more.. By now I'm going 15-20 mph

Next thing I know, my truck starts spinning and I crash into the retaining wall. My bed cover flies off... And two cars a lane over from me are off the ground, then rolling down the road

Freaking tornado....

Good news is I'm fine. Others around were taken away in ambulances

Bad news, my truck got pretty messed up.

I feel blessed. 🙏

Yup. Sugar Land. I guess XM radio doesn't announce local weather alerts... 🤦

My wife texted me right after it happened. "Be careful, there's a tornado warning"

Yeah that rain sucked this morning was a little further up the road on 10 in Katy where the rain was pouring down but the air was a bit more stable. Glad you made it out safe. Best I can offer you is a nice smoke and a glass of whiskey.
