storm chasers

Or rather...being chased by storms.

You would not believe the night we just had. We were out driving late (around 9:00pm) to get dinner because we were too engrossed in Weeds Season 3 to get anything earlier. So we head out not really knowing where to go. Let me just explain to you how crazy the night was in bullet points because I don't want to forget anything:

• The night was hot and windy and you could tell the sky was about to open any second.
• A homeless guy came out of nowhere pushing a shopping cart and carrying a broomstick (anyone read The Road?)
• We were driving on the highway and lightning struck thisclose to us.
• We saw 2 transformers blow up RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR CAR. The most blinding light you've ever seen.
• Some of the sparks from the explosion showered onto our car.
• There is construction on our exit to get home and the orange barrels were scattered all over BOTH lanes on the exit ramp.
• Nick had to drive like he was taking a stunt driving course. On my bald tires. He did brilliantly.
  

I gotta go. Nick's making me sleep on the floor so the lightning can't strike the metal springs in our mattress and melt us to the bed.
