Back on Wednesday me and the wife went to the grocery store for a few things...When we left the house the radar on the weather channel was not showing anything but by the time we got through picking up a few things the rain was coming in sideways....We stood in the store for a minute and I decided it was best for me to go get the truck......I ran as fast as I could to the truck and pulled it to the front of the store with the winds near 50 mph......Just about the time I parked it at the front of the grocery store the wind picked up even more and I heard car alarms going off and my truck was swaying and wiggling with the wind. This lasted almost 5 minutes and scared the heck out of me cause I thought it might the a tornado on the way..After the wind slowed a bit I jumped out and got the groceries in the truck and as we started to drive away I noticed that there was a medium sized oak just where I had been parked on the ground across 3 vehicles....There were 2 more oaks down in the parking lot but none were on cars...Just up the road there was a huge oak across the road that we had to go around...This little storm lasted about 10 minutes and tore up some big trees and shingles from homes..I wish I would have taken my camera as I normally do but since this was just a quick grocery trip I left it at home...Never again will I leave it home....I missed some great pics and video on this little storm.

It was a good one for sure.....I have not seen winds like that since the hurricanes crossed the state.
