Story Time!!!

So, yesterday I spent the day in Fargo with a couple of my best friends. We went shopping, pretended to be America's Next Top Model's in the dressing rooms, ate, took tons of pictures, and even caught a late movie. All in all, a great day. Well! When we got out of the movie, it was a down pour outside. We were caught in the thick of a very severe thunderstorm. Driving home was nearly impossible, with how wet the roads were, the glare of street lights, and random flashes of lightning, it was very hard to see the lines on the road. We had to pull over a couple of times just because I didn't feel comfortable driving under the conditions. We finally made it back to DL and I was on my way to dropping my friends off at home. We started driving through what appeared to be a puddle as we went around the curve, and as we reached the otherside of the curve, we realized that this was not a puddle, but in fact, the road had flooded. I was too far in to just back out of it, and without knowing how deep it was or how my car would handle it, we decided to park...yep...right in the middle of the flooded road. I put my hazards on and we all called our parents to let them know what was up. We were sitting there, amazed that the highway had flooded (this kind of stuff NEVER happens in DL) for about a half hour until the cop showed up to assist. Only one came because the was a gas leak right next to a lightning strike across town (near my house actually) and they were evacuating that neighborhood. The cop was able to push my car out, and while my bro drove it home, my mom and I dropped off my friends...randomly having to change routes due to more flooding. As we drove home, we saw where the lightning struck...a tree was on fire!! We got home safely. What a day, huh?
