Here is my long winded storm story.

Lets start out Friday night. I get a call from a friend of mine who lives out on Kent Island to come over and have a few drinks. It is a Friday Night so I say OF COURSE! Long work week and who doesn't want to enjoy a few cold ones. So we head over to Ram's Head have a couple buckets brews eat some grub and decide to head over to Big Al's Dock Bar. I knew if I kept drinking it would be a crazy night so I really slowed down. Get over to Big Al's and there was a few good looking girls so I was content. The DJ was packing his stuff up and a friend of mine from back home in Rhode Island calls and we talk for a bit and see how things are going. Night is going pretty well. It is about 10:30 and I get a call from David our former technician here at AAM he says.

"Adam watch out there is a hell of a storm heading your way." I thought nothing of it, I'm from New England I have been through a few storms in my life this will be nothing new. So another 10 minutes goes by and I break out my phone to check the radar and see what was coming 0_0 ohhh noezzzzzz is what went threw my head. I told the other guys we gotta leave so I can TRY and make it back to Severna Park. Good thing he only lives 5 minutes down the road. Get back to his apartment and myself and my roommate BOUNCE as fast a possible. Get back on 50 west bound and no more then a half mile on the highway we are so delightfully greeted with the storm............... HAIL and 80+ MPH winds which were throwing my truck around like a doll. So I slow way down to a crawl and incing my way up the highway trying to avoid any and all road debris. I said to myself "I am not dying trying to drive back to my apartment" so I get to the last overpass before the bridge and park there and let the storm pass. It is 11pm now and all of a sudden I look up and 3 red X's on the bridge. I do some research and find out they close the bridge when it has winds higher then 50mph that are sustained. So I am basically saying to myself no worries it will pass and I can get home. Keep the A/C on in my truck and keep cool......... Winds really pick up now and a orange construction barrel thought it was a good idea to have some full frontal action with the front of my truck -__- not what I needed. Broken grille and busted front valance. If that all the damage I would sustain I am ok with that.

2 hours later still nothing. I am starting to get aggravated as I have no cell service really and getting bored of sitting in my truck.





It is now 3am and I am getting mighty pissed off as I have been sitting there for 4 hours! I decide screw this I need off this island! I start pulling up the the bridge and get there........ it is roped off -___-. Not what I was hoping for but oh well. Pull back over. A cop comes up tells me what is going on. "A truck rolled over on the east bound side and his load is all over the place and there is a electrical problem on the west bound lane after the winds hit over 100mph.........

Boy was I glad I didn't try and drive over that. So another hour goes by it is 4am and they FINALLY let us over the bridge. Sitting there for 5 hours! I can almost drive back home to RI in 5 hours lol. Get home 30 minutes later..... The exact spot where I park my truck there are 2 HUGE tree limbs that came crashing down. Good thing I was stuck on Kent Island lol. Go up to my apartment and no power........ It is a Sauna and I was sweating just thinking. It is 4:30am I am exhausted and just want to sleep. Get into my room and it was like a act of god the power came back........... for 5 minutes. It toyed with me for a half hour. 5am I just pass out after a long night, no power and it was way too hot in my apartment. Never been so happy for Monday to come around.

Didn't get power back until Saturday night about 9pm but I was up at Dave's house beating the heat.


Sorry for the long story lol

Damn that's a crazy story Adam, but glad you're ok and that it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

Here's my storm story. Went to Columbia to watch the movie Ted Friday night. Went there early for the 10:40 show so we could get good seats (and because the 9:40 show was sold out when we got there ) and sat in the theater waiting for about 30-40 mins. Halfway through the previews, the power goes out. We go look outside and there is a crazy storm raging, which we saw no signs of earlier.

They were giving out free movie passes, but we decided to leave before the storm got worse. Had to run across the parking lot to my Z and use the manual key to get in since my door lock is messed up. Could barely see anything in front of me while driving back home while trying to dodge all the branches and stuff flying around everywhere. A little while after leaving I notice that the service engine light is on in my Z. I have no idea why, but it was not on when we got to the theater.

On 175 near Arundel Mills, we saw what we thought was some sort of emergency light as if they were trying to call for Batman or something. It looked like white and red lights flashing up in the air, lighting up the whole sky. When we got closer I was like "holy crap that's a power line on fire!" It seemed like there might have been a tree partially laying on it, but couldn't really tell. You could see the electricity flowing through that part of the line (the white flashes of light) and you could see the bright red flames as well (red flashes of light). It was one of the coolest and scariest things I've seen and just happened to be on my side of the road. My cousin made a video of it that I still need to check out, I'll post it if it's good. Of course to make it all better, some superdouche in a Jetta decides it's a good idea to speed up and cut me off right next to the blazing power line

Got home safely and we still had power so I just went to bed. We left for NY like 5 hrs later.

Here's my story: I was getting chocolately wasted in DC.

My car was on V st parked between row homes where they don't have land or trees or even mailboxes, so she was way safer than if I had been at home being a bum. My neighbor lost half a tree and now his yard looks stupid.

Regardless, a lot of people died and had their stuff ruined, so it was really sad. No More Storms!!!

Adam, glad you made it through okay. It was one for the history books for sure and for many it ain't over yet. Power was our only issue for a day but thankfully came back fairly soon.

The funniest/dumbest heads on collision accident I've even seen... in a parking lot. Not the flames decal on the white car & how anxious the owner in the middle appears to be. Heads on collision in a parking lot

You can't just tell us it's the funniest collision you've ever seen without telling us the story behind it

Pics speak a thousand words Shahid Well, as a summary 2 guys colliding with a lady on a two lane secondary street with all the space available. That's about it
