One day, I was driving along the highway through a heavy rain with little visibility, and suddenly the storm stopped and I saw some sunshine break through the clouds. About five seconds later, the car in front of me slammed on the brakes, and went partly off the road, as there was a sudden, big disturbance just ahead. I slowed down, then went on my merry way as it quickly cleared up. About a mile down the road, I noticed people looking up into the sky behind me. I slowed the car and looked back, and there was a tornado where I had been. It had crossed right in front of me, but I was too close to see it. My Miata didn’t have much visibility with the top up, so I didn’t notice it behind me after I passed it. Fortunately, it was only an F1 tornado (73-112 MPH).
