A sound as of a rushing mighty wind

To further report on Fridays storm, I was driving home from Greenwood
Indiana that night when the storm hit full force in Indiana.  We had
a few tornadoes but not as severe as Illini.  I passed one road called
Stop 11 at about 7:10pm, a tornado came ripping through there at 7:20pm!
I believe I got the tail end of that storm though.  As I drove home I 
ran into a hail storm at about pea size.  I was going 60mph and then
quickly slowed down do to the speed the hail was coming down.  After
a few moments it let up and I drove on.  A minute later I hit another
hail storm, this one a little bit bigger and stronger.  I came to 
a stop close but not under a overpass.  I thought for sure that my 
windshield would break.  After this storm let up, I drove on to hit yet 
another hail storm.  This one had hail the size of golf balls!  I
was able this time to get almost my whole car under a overpass.
Traffic came to a complete halt do to the 0 visibility.  I will
tell you I have never prayed SO hard while driving in my car!
All the way home, I thanked GOd for keeping his protective hand
on me.  I could of easily been in the path of the tornado.  I could
of easily had my car demolished, or a broken windshield..(I have 3
minor dents which are barely visible :) )
The next day was Sooo beautiful.  The sun was shining, the sky was
blue, the clouds were wonderful.  It made me sit back in awe thinking
how mysterious the works of God can be.  I thank him for being there
for me!!  God Bless everyone!
