THE ENCOUNTER AND A TORNADO
2 miles east of Bradner, Ohio
July 3rd, 10:25 P.M. EST
Storm. Not an ordinary storm, a potential tornadic storm...at night. Not good.
A black 2007 Ford F-150 XL tore down Pemberville Rd. going toward U.S 6
"Oh boy, no way ANYONE will see this tornado coming." the driver said. He saw a flash of white light a quarter mile down the road that scared him.
Hold the phone. What was that? It was no lightning strike.And then, “WHOA SHIT!”
And just like that, he pounded his E-Brake and came to a halt mere inches from the figure...12 of them.
The driver stepped out of his truck, bringing his Midland NOAA radio with just in case.
“Uh hi,” the driver said, “who are you 12?” The tallest figure steps into the headlight and boy was she pretty.
“My name is Twilight Sparkle.” She said, “What’s your name?”
“Garrett Harner,” he said. At that point, the NOAA went off… “TORNADO WARNING IN EFFECT IN WOOD COUNTY. AT 10:30 PM EST, A THUNDERSTORM CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A TORNADO WAS SITED IN SANDUSKY COUNTY GOING WEST AT 15 MPH. SOURCE: RADAR INDICATED. THE SAFEST PLACE IS IN AN UNDERGROUND BUNKER OR CELLAR. STAY TUNED FOR MORE INFORMATION. Then it ended with the beeps and silence. Garrett looked east as a lightning flash showed the swirling column.
“ OH SHIT! LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!” he yelled. And boy was it hard getting ponies in the cab/bed of the truck so way too close for comfort.
THE NEXT MORNING
An annoying sound echoed through the 2000 sq ft APT, the sound of an alarm set for 10 AM. “Ugh. Alexa, stop,” muttered Garrett as he talked to his Amazon Alexa. I need coffee stat. Dunkin’ Doughnuts. Everyone else was still sleeping so Garrett grabbed his keys. As he was about to head out when a filly tugged at his leg.
“Can I come with you?” she asked.
“I'm going down the street. One of Earth's greatest inventions is coffee,” Garrett said.
“Please?” she asked with puppy eyes this time.
I can't resist the puppy eyes, oh why god did you do this to me? “Ok fine. But when we get to the Drive-Thru window, you need to duck out of sight,” he said.
“Yay!” When they walked outside, there was snow. “Why is there snow?”
“Welcome to Ohio,” Garrett said with a sigh. “Can this day get any worse?” he said rhetorically. Last night was a jerk as the tornado was set as an EF1 going towards New Rochester, OH and there were no sirens until Bradner and Bowling Green, OH, so that would have been bad. But luck was on their side and dissipated ½ mile away. Then the truck popped a tire on a nail and took a bit to replace it. Now there was snow... in July.
