Underdog Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I went through Kenly on the 16th on our way to Disney. Some wicked bad storms with tornados that day, I-95 was closed for 2 hrs for debris and wrecks. I hope they have better weather today.Also thoughts and prayers to anyone affected by the recent rash of storms across the country. Seems like we can't get a break from the weatherman this year.Gregg Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/18892-kenlync/#findComment-76970 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just north of Wooster, Ohio on rt. 250 Thursday morning, sound asleep in a closed restaurant's parking lot and I woke up around 4:15am because the truck was rocking because of the wind like 2 gorillas were on each side of the cab shaking it violently. Kinda scary, I can only imagine what it must have been like at the Petro in Glade Spring. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

slpwlker Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 You got that right. A few years ago was in tx around Denton and had one earlier come across behind us then about 0300 another one woke me up and I swore the truck lifted a few times then it was gone.

vision386 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I was eastbound on 40 in Arkansas a few years ago,riding along listening to my new XM radio,when it dawned on me i had'nt seen a car or truck going westbound for about an hour,clicked over to FM,BBBBBBEEEEEEEPPPPP!!!!!!"the national weather sevice has issued a tornado warning for Lone Pine,AR! "so guess where i am? sky got black instantly! i pulled over under a concrete overpass,got the tractor as far over as i could,the funnel cloud was 1/2 mile to the south! a woman and little girl were in a little U-haul truck,also headed east,when they came out from under the overpass the wind blew their truck over on its side! put a signpost through my pass.side windshield! took the pass.side mirror off my truck! (never did find it)the funnel cloud was literally right in front of me! took just a few seconds to pass. I pulled the windsheild out of the u-haul truck,so the people could get out (both were un-harmed,wearing seatbelts) they got in truck with me till it was clear. scared to say the least! when it was safe to go,i headed for west memphis,truckstop there was destroyed,had to go all the way into memphis without a right-hand mirror! the Mack dealer there fixed me up with a new mirror/windshield,but some scary stuff! my only experience with a tornado,one i would not like to encounter again!................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.
