Got an alarm from the wastewater plant I worked at that the power was out. This was in the middle of a storm with what was later determined to be 100 mph straight line winds and very heavy rain. Instead of waiting for it to settle down, my dumb ass gets in the car and heads in. I was on a bridge crossing a creek when the wind caught my car and turned it 90° right. Instantly the view of the road ahead was replaced with the guard rail, then just as suddenly it was the road ahead. I was even located in the center of the lane, just as before. I would have doubted my senses except for the piss in my britches and the skid marks on the road the next morning.
All's well, so I head on to the plant. I get to the plant, get out of the car, and hear a really strange noise. I look for the source of the sound an I see two pine trees on the neighboring property, about 50 feet tall whipping back and forth in the wind. The strange noise was the tops of the trees slapping the ground and the wood fibers pulling apart. That was all I needed to see. I went into the office building and waited out the storm. The next day, the trees were still standing, but they were crooked, and died in very short order. The owner of the property later told me that, after he cut them down, only the pulp mill in Lufkin would take the trunks. They were too torn up for lumber.
That was the last time I heroed in during a storm.
