OMG! George you are one lucky individual, not to just ride it out with your life in tact, but also to be this close to actually take this shot! It takes my breath away just to know you captured this for our viewing experiences! Thanks for sharing and thank God you are all okay! Wow Factor on this shot and I believe it to be a Nat Geo moment in time! Awesome shot, my friend! fave and vote

George Cousins replied:

Thanks so much for your wonderful comments Randy. We were really surprised to run into this in Ontario, where such storms are rare. But on that narrow country road, with no ditches and no time to turn around, it was a case of hang on tight and don't drop the camera! It worked out OK and glad you liked it!
