Vehicle interior thunderstorm ambience. Oh, look, another minisode! And in today’s minisode, we idle in a parking lot, waiting out a passing thunderstorm.
There are a lot of good reasons for letting a storm pass.
Man, one year, my commute, which usually took 30-45 minutes, took eight ****** hours. I was stupidly piloting my Smart car through an epic 2-inch-an-hour snowfall. You may have heard of the storm Carmaggedon [air horn].
I joined everyone else on the highway who didn’t wait out the snow, and it became the biggest, iciest traffic jam of my life. At one point, nature forced me out onto the traffic-snarled highway; I had to go. And as I went, lighting flashed and then rumbles of thunder.
I was geeked. I had always heard of thunder-snow but had never actually seen it. It was quite something.
So, it is always better to wait out a storm — well, unless you’re Noah. If that dude waited the storm out he could've drowned.
And then for all-time we may have known the parable as “Japheth’s Ark.” And if you say that too quickly, it might come across as “Jeff’s fart.”
