jeez thats terrible. Glad you're ok, looks like you got lucky!

Torrential rain is the worst. I've driven through whiteouts in winter, but in a hard rain I pull over. 2c

**MaDalton** · 08-06-2008, 07:50 AM

too fast? bad tyres?

**Manowar** · 08-06-2008, 07:52 AM

damn, that looks pretty nasty

insurance gonna cover it?

**CIVMatt** · 08-06-2008, 07:52 AM

Thanks Tom, yeah got hit by a wall of water, soon as I saw it come across the road the whole truck picked up and started spinning, caught the guardrail and went off down the bank... raining so hard I couldn't even see what direction I was going.

Soon as I came to a stop I kinda laughed and said "Well that wasn't so bad"

Yeah Brand new tires, insurance is taking care of it

Jesus.... glad your okay!

Accidents suck, but look at it this way...

Everyone walked away...

Insurance is handling it...

Free adrenaline rush and helicopter spin ride...

**CIVMatt** · 08-06-2008, 08:20 AM

Exactly munki... I was by myself and nobody else was involved, no biggie, things can be fixed

glad you're ok.. sounds like a shitty situation

was it surf or rain?

**Ross** · 08-06-2008, 09:18 AM

Good to hear you're ok man. Florida weather is crazy. One day we were coming back from International Drive, playing some mini golf and it was hot as hell. About 10 miles down the road the rain just hit us like nothing I'd ever saw before. I dropped down to 40mph, wipers on full and tried to keep calm. Big lorries were overtaking me, guess those guys are used to it but for me it was terrifying. I made it back to our Villa in one piece tho thankfully.

On a side note, I'm really suprised you didn't catch a gator in there. LOL.

**klaze** · 08-06-2008, 09:29 AM

I was in Naples for Hurricane Andrew.

Main reason we left Florida was the horrible weather.

**Kudles** · 08-06-2008, 09:31 AM

Holy crap I hope your ok!
