.....hubby and I were out driving in those 80 mph winds! We were on our way to PetSmart for Lexie's "graduation" from obediance class. I NEVER want to be out in something like that again! The winds started about 3 blocks from Petsmart at a busy intersection in rush hour traffic while we were stopped waiting for the green arrow so we could turn the corner. By the time we pulled into a parking space at Petsmart, the torrential rain started so we just sat in the car to wait it out.
S C A R Y !!!
The car was rocking side to side, then I felt wetness hitting me on my neck. When we turned around (as I knew I didn't have any windows open), we discovered to baseball sized holes in the back window of our Vue and watched as the strong winds and/or hail crumbled the rest of it. Lexie was on my lap shaking with fear and I wasn't feeling very brave either. The winds didn't last really long and when then subsided somewhat, we made a run for the Petsmart doors.
Here is a pic of our poor car and some other damage around the city......
#1 - Yep.....we used to have a back window....
