This was one of the craziest and scariest storms I've ever been caught out in! Steve and I had gone for an afternoon walk in the sunshine. Off behind the house, I could see some thunderheads building, but they were a long way off, and it was perfectly calm and sunny. We had just gotten around the curve in the driveway when we felt the first cool breeze; by the time we got to the saddle in the driveway, 1/8 mile away, the wind was howling, and changed directions 180 degrees. It also dropped about 15 degrees in temp instantly. We both essentially ran back to the house, with one foot in the ditch, just in case we needed to take cover in it. As far as we know, it never did turn into a tornado, but it was one of the strongest microbursts I've ever felt. The sky was just crazy looking
