After having such a rough day, I decided to go on to the store. I thought I heard thunder but wasn't sure. I went to the back door, and the wind was blowing so hard, it had turned dark. So I decided to cancel going to the store. We can use the rain, but I don't like driving when it's raining. So, I have a lot to do tomorrow.

Well, it depends we had a lot of wind, and I live in a very wooded area. Mostly I watch the weather, because I live on Tornado Alley. If a tornado is close, I sat in the closet, away from windows. Have a nice day.

@evans777 Never thought about it, but it is something to consider while sitting in the closet. Have a great weekend.

If I can avoid going out in the rain, I will. A drizzle is fine, but out of the blue it can turn into a blinding downpour.

You made the right decision ! There was no need for you to go on to the store in the rain.

We have very hot weather so this morning I wanted to pick up some things from the convenience store two blocks away and I went around 7:30 AM it was pleasantly cool at that time,

Many people avoid driving when it is raining.But sometimes it becomes necessary.Yesterday morning I got back home driving almost continuously for more than 700 kms.I had been to a city near the Himalayas.

Yes, it is necessary at times, but the wind was blowing like crazy. Wasn't going out in that. How are your dogs.

It is often wise to stay indoors than drive while it is dark and raining. Thunders add more challlenges. I too prefer staying indoors during such things. It is difficult driving as well when it is raining heavy and visibility low. I have once drove while there were heavy thunders and was glad to reach home and it was late night as well. Some of the things can wait . Life and taking precautions are important. Glad to see your decision .Sorry to hear you had a rough day. Hope tomorrow would be better for you !

Thank you, it was much better. I hit a deer one night, no good deed. I'm sure you were glad to get home. Have a weekend.

Sounds like you had quite a day! It’s always better to be safe than sorry, especially with stormy weather. Hopefully, the rain will be gentle and you’ll have a productive day tomorrow. Take care and stay safe!

Yeah, but when you can't see, if I get caught off guard I always pull over.
