    Holy crap.... I really hope they are OK. I can't imagine being in that white Volvo on its side right on the railing of that overpass. How scary...

    Why you always need to pay attention to your surroundings. When going into a Stormy area be vigliant and watch the weather closely. If you do not feel comfy find shelter. 18 wheeler not going to stand on the ground if a twister get it paws on it.

    Be safe out there Drivers,

    I JUST WENT THRU THERE... IT WAS ON MY TAIL FEATHERS THE WHOLE TIME!!!! I was ahead of it by 5-10 miles the entire time,forgot all about that mpg and mashed the gas!!!! 4 wheelers were panicking and trying to crawl under me!!! Black skies,horrid rain,and hail...I made it to a T/S and try to pull in fuel island and 4wheelers were all in the fuel islands..
    UGH,IT WAS A MESS!! I waited til the clouds passed and wasn't sure which way was safe,but decide to keep North and again I heard on radio that another one hit RIGHT where I was....ugh
