OMG...I was in Monroe at 12:11pm and the wind and clouds were blowing so fast and hard, I was wiggling in my seat....I turned around to head home, but realized that the storm was heading towards home, so I stuck it out, but boy what a scary storm to be out in.....I hope no one was hurt or had a significant wind damage. My tahoe was literally being pushed by the wind....
