yup, we actually had a tornado touch down in ct today! Flipped an 18-wheeler on 95 about 100 ft in front of my buddy, Luckily he was in his work truck and not on his bike!

Dang that sucks. Haha i had a similar occurance today with rain. I left work at it was pouring so i was soaked. But about 3 miles from base and another 4 miles from my house it was sunny and dry. lol stayed that way all day. The storms wouldnt pass this one bridge. haha

The rain hurt at 60. I could only imagine hail at that speed.

Yeah, that chit tore up a lot of trees here too. Came out of nowhere fast. When I pulled into the office, the sky was clear. I was inside for 15 minutes to change shirts and grab my gear. Came out and the sky looked like hell to the west. Jogged over to the bike and in the time it took to pull on my helmet and gloves, I knew I was screwed.

Pulled my bike next to a cargo container to protect it from the wind (didn't want her to blow over). Got lucky cause it protected the paint from the hail too

Guy refused to believe I'd let a tree blocking the front of his house stop me from running him a new line. Also thought some unknown customer service supervisor could order me to do it while he sat in an office somewhere
