    I drove through an f3 tornado without realizing it was a tornado.

    Was headed home after work one night and my girlfriend at the time wanted taco bell so when I finally headed home I was met with a wall of rain that immediately blinded me. I pulled off the road into a clearing and as soon as I did a lightning bolt hit the telephone pole next to me.

    Needless to say I floored it and moved a decent distance from the pole which was now on fire. I waited for the rain to clear a bit and decided it was time to drive home.

    Bad idea.

    Next thing I know I’m literally dodging falling trees left and right with the wind almost forcing me off the road. I eventually made it home but not until having to turn around multiple times due to trees blocking roads and having to drive over downed power lines that I didn’t know were there until I was already driving on them.

    3/10 wouldn’t recommend.

    The sad part is I recently drove through another tornado and I thought it would never happen again 😭

      I am sorry but this is too funny. “If I have a dollar for every time I accidentally drive into a tornado I’d have $2. Which isn’t much, but it’s weird that it happened twice”
