A fun drive home
July 28th, 2005
I left work a little late yesterday just as very dark clouds were rolling towards me. Whenever I try to wait something out I tend to just waste time and get the full brunt of the storm anyway, so I decided to just go and drive home anyway.
As I was leaving Haverford the wind picked up considerably. There is construction going on at the local private high school and the wind had kicked up so much dirt that I thought I was driving into pouring rain.(my vision isn’t perfect)
I got onto montgomery ave. without too much trouble, but that is when the real fun began. The wind was still blowing strong and had blown part of a tree onto all the westbound lanes. Unfortunately for me I was going west. In order to get around this tree the cars ahead of me were swerving into oncoming traffic whenever there was enough time to do so. I followed suit. The rest of the trip was relatively uneventful. Parts of trees continued to break off and hit my car/create smaller road obstacles and it eventually started pouring. All in all a fun drive home.
