I tried to walk/jog from work to home before the storm hit. That was my big mistake.
I made it home after being lashed with strong winds and as I walked into our front yard, the tree next to me split in two! Thankfully it fell within the few metres that was between me and my parked car. As I write this I am listening to the storm warning on the radio.
I made in the front door felt lucky to have escaped without injury as I watched the hail bucket down.
Lesson # 1: Don't try and outrun a storm.
[edited to add picture of the tree] The little gap in the wood fence thing is where I was when it happened and the car is just to the right of the picture.
