Holy fucking Bloody Hell! What a ride we had!!! I am to tell our story from my side and after I will add G's side that he posted on his page. We were taking a drive looking for North Grimesland Bridge Road. G is driving. I get a call from R, my son, and he asks me "haven't you heard the radio broadcast. There's a terrible storm coming." I kinda laughed and told him. The air is absolutely still here and other then a tiny bit dark it is normal here. So I hang up. LIterally two minutes later the entire sky goes almost black and the wind is ripping everywhere. The area we were driving in was narrow and trees on both sides. We started seeing heavy lightning along with the trees swaying impossibly close to the road. G is hollering "Holy Fuck" and I'm joining him making those two words in stereo. On our left there is this huge ( and I do mean fucking huge) tree and it was literally lifted up and thrown across the entire road at an angle and right in front of us, missing us by a few feet. (Zeus and Neptune having a huge knockdown drag out) G managed to turn the car around with little or no room on either side and we started trying to head back the way we came and try to go home via 264 rather then Grimesland Bridge Road. There was shit everywhere. Huge tree branches, pieces of houses and roofs and trash cans and everything. I'm watching the trees bend down so far. Now I've been in plenty of storms and hurricanes and I've seen trees bend, but I was not in a car in those times. I look over to the left and there are power poles broken in half and the fucking power lines are being whipped towards us like some kind of invisible cowboy dude at a rodeo. They fell behind us! We were literally going back and forth from one side of the road to the other trying to dodge shit all over the place. We finally made it to the end of that part of the road and pulled into the driveway of this house. WE watched the shingles lifting off the house and blowing away. I was looking at GAry and behind him in the side window was this huge branch hitting the window. There were cars stopped everywhere. Going down 264 was easier but messy. We finally get close to home only to be stopped twice where they are cutting up trees that had fallen across the road. One time we were literally 500 yards from my house. Now I'll post G's side of the story His as follows: WG

Well the power just came back on , we were driving through Grimesland a few hours ago and saw the sky darkening and got told a big storm was on its way so we started off back home. Two minutes into the drive and the wind is shrieking and we have a 100 foot tree come crashing down across the road right in front of us. Im yelling Cs freaking and Im doing an immediate Uturn cos the trees lining the road are all bending over the car, one near miss and we are dodging debris trying to to get back to an open highway. Im weaving back and forth across the road as debris and pieces of house fly across the road and we get stopped by large debris in front of us, i see the tops of two power poles snapped off and the wires waving back and forth across our lane, we are still in danger of getting crushed by large trees as branches and debris continues to pepper our car, i nudge through the rubbish and gun the car past the waving powerlines and just make it. Then we continue to negotiate the gauntlet of the storm finally coming to a stop beside the highway away from large trees. It didnt get much better branches and junk continue to hit our car and we feel it lifting off the road, still freaking(Its a large car, a Thunderbird) I decide to put the car rear end facing the storm, it stops the car lifting. Another ten mins of watching the lightning all around as us rain pelts us and covers our car in leaves and small branches, it finally ebbs enough we decide to take off along the highway back into Greenville, not so dramatic but still unnerving as we continue to dodge debris on the road all the way back home getting stopped twice to allow road crews to clear a path through the fallen trees. We get home and find that we escaped largely unscathed considering what we just went through. Ill be doing roof repairs tomorrow to a couple of the buildings. Nuff said, C can tell the rest... Just heard on the news that 3 were killed by falling trees!!! That so could have been us!
