Polar Vortex 2014 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Kind of an ass not to get out and help. Just drive over the grass and take off. I was thinking the same thing. He drives into a town with severe damages, including destroyed homes. And just drives through their yard to get back onto the road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrackertf Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Just getting heavy downpours with thunder/lightning now. No wind so far. I'm mad because I've been watching my neighbor's house for the past week and he just had a few shingles blow off and his gutter got torn down by a mixture of the wind and heavy rain and clogged drains. Other than that big random gust, nothing too serious. Internet/cable is out now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
