Wild Rain Storm in Texas
While driving across western Texas on I-10, we saw a curtain of rain up ahead. You could tell that it was moving south and that we would be driving through it very soon. I was expecting some moderate to heavy rain for a short period, but nothing too severe. As we got into it, the wind starting blowing very hard and had many gusts that were very strong. We had RainX on the windows so I didn’t think we’d need the wipers, but as the rain got heavier we turned them on. The wind was so strong that it was picking the wiper arms up away from the windshield. The wiper blades were still on the window, though (sticking to the RainX??). It was pretty freaky, and I was sure that the wiper arms would be torn off completely, so we turned the wipers off and just went with the RainX. With the high wind, it kept the windshield very clear. Thank goodness that it didn’t last very long. I was happy to be out of it, but of course, my hubby thought that it was great fun to go through!
