So here's an update for those of you that are following along.
So, I told yas that I was meeting up with my boy to pick up a coupla zips...short and sweet trip right? Wrong...everything that could possibly go wrong, did...(except for getting pinched). Just as I was leaving to go to my boy's house, a National Weather Service announcement flashed across the screen with a Tornado Warning for my area...greeeat. So, I head out for the drive, ignoring the warning. I have to travel on a small early 20th century divided highway to get to my friends house. I drove about 5 minutes, rain was pouring buckets, and I couldn't see in front of me. The traffic came to a sudden stop. I'm acclimated to traffic in my area, so I didnt think much of it. I sat at a stand still for 5 minutes, awaiting impatiently, because I had a small window of time to meet my friend for my hook up. Then I notice people getting out of their cars, the rain subsided. I remained in my car and threw it into park and shut off my engine because I couldn't waste gas since I only had 1/4 tank which would get me there and back under normal driving conditions.
I called my boy and told him where I was and that I was stuck on the highway in stand still traffic. He got pissed because he had to get to work by 4:30 and it was about 5 past 4 with no end in sight. Needless to say, I didn't make it to my boy's house. I had to pick it up at his work which made him even more pissed.
I got out of my car and looked further up the road. About a 1/2 mile ahead of me lay 4 massive Oaks and Maples across the highway, over the grass median and into the oncoming traffic 2 lane highway. Emergency crews cautiously weaved their way up between the two traveling lanes, which made me and everyone else pull our cars to the sides. I hung out with a few people in the middle of the highway, periodically dodging passing downpours. It took the DOT 1 1/2 hours to clear a passing lane. I slowly crept along for the 1/2 mile until I came up to the destruction. A tornado tore through the woods, snapping 3' caliper tree trunks like they were toothpicks. Luckily, no one was involved in the carnage. So I made it past...until I slammed into more traffic. Fuck this! I took the first exit off. I took backroads to another connector torwards I-95 NYC. All in all, it took me a total of 4 hours traveling there and back, which normally would take me an hour trip.
It rained so hard that I got water in the basement. My garden was flooded, but I cultivate it regularly so its nicely drained.
Sorry about the long ass story, I don't mean to ramble on, but I'm finally stoned. My new indoor grow started...2 sprouts of my Himalaya Blue Diesel have started to poke their heads out. I'll post pics of my indoor garden soon.
The pic I posted is from on the highway with the stand still traffic. Sorry if its not that clear, but its my camera phone.
Hear from ya's soon!
