I didn't see the twister. At the time all I could see was grey skies everywhere, and terrific winds with a lot of rain in them. I'd been through sudden downpours as intense as that, and I've been in Saskatchewan where the wind gusts can have you leaning the bike way over to one side to stay on the road, but never the two together like that before.

Btw, if you're ever in Saskatchewan, and you see a sign that says "Wind Gusts", believe that it can mean trouble. I was leaning the bike way over to one side to keep a straight path on the highway, when suddenly the wind changed direction by 180 degrees. I barely got the bike vertical and heeled over the other way in time. :shock:

One time I got stuck in a tittie-twister. I got banged around pretty hard. I leaned forward to see how far I could go. I hit the left side and then the right. I barely made it through alive! I found that I was soaked, and that the experience had given me a glimpse of the power of nature.

:lol:

you right Jarg about Camille
Camille. Made landfall in Mississippi on August 17 1969. The storm tracked northward and dumped a record 27 inches of rain in the Virginia mountains, primarily in Nelson County. Flash flooding took the lives of 153 people that not include the lives from Mississippi to Va.

Incidentally, the name of that tittie-twister was also "Camille." Not Bowles-Parker, though.

:lol:
