Last night I was in Springfield driving around in the rain when I heard that tornadoes were coming. I pulled over as the rain started coming down thick.

The sky got really dark and a woman running to put her kids in her car next to me yelled that hail the size of softballs were on their way.

The car radio was on and the emergency weather reports made it sound bad and getting worse.

I drove to a bank that had a drive thru with a shelter or awning and parked under it.

It was really violent for a bit and while driving I thought I was on ice as the car seemed to be sliding, but I guess it was the wind getting under my Honda.

Then as suddenly as it started the clouds opened to Blue skies and a beautiful sunset!
