We got caught in a severe thunderstorm and flash flood in Lafayette, LA





We didn't think too much about this storm at first, but it got really bad, really fast. Ed was pumping gas when it hit in earnest and the rain and wind were so heavy he had to abandon the pump. He got soaked and his shoes were filled with water, it was sort of funny, then again, it wasn't. As you can see the water was near the headlights on the smaller cars and actually was making waves. We thought we wouldn't make it back to our hotel because we had to cross the river, which Ed feared doing. But we pressed on and the river area was actually better and much less flooded. Happy ending.
