He Works in Wondrous Ways

JOYPEACE

========================== I had a 30 mile drive home from the bingo game. It was raining and I decided to take "90," a back road home rather than the expressway as having trucks pass at 70 mph in a heavy rain didn't seem sensible. No lights were on in the small towns I passed. The rain got heavier and heavier, small limbs were falling and finally the rain was like being under the ocean. I couldn't stop as the only thing I could see was the yellow dividing line on the 90 and I had no idea if I'd end up in a ditch if I attempted to pull off. Had the radio been on, I might have heard that a tornado was heading down 90 and everyone was to seek shelter immediately. Terry, the head of the volunteer fire department in one small town was at the building about 40 yards from the 90. He saw the lights of my car (the only lights in the town) and knew I was in trouble. He came out and got in front of me and led me for about 5 miles until the road was once again passable. While he was doing this, the tornado hit the building he had been in. ~A MountainWings Original by Jen Scott, Argyle, FL~
