Hey guys its been quite a while since I've been on the forums but yeah....

The weekend before last we took my mazda 3 i on a trip from Walnut Ridge (William's Baptist College, where i live) to Missouri to go canoeing on Spring River.

Right after we leave we hear tornado warnings going off everywhere, all around us. Being the ignorant college kids we were, we kept on going. long story short, we went through a system of 5 tornadoes (within a mile of each) Hail and everything. The 3 handled it beautifully, only slipped a bit (like if i accelerated too fast the tires would spin, mainly cuz i need to change my tires) not any pecks from the marble sized hail, and we had 4 people in the vehicle. I have a new respect for my car cuz it get me too worried at all. But i must say it was insane, with lightning going EVERYWHERE, hailing like crazy, wind blowing at like 50 mph, crazy. We were following a guy driving a saturn and he was going all over the road. My mazda still looks great and still runs great, I'm proud of it!

 

You drove through... tornados..... wow

 

ya i know not the smartest thing to do. we stopped for a bit, then heard that is was clear, drove about a mile then on the radio tornado warnings galore. it was crazy
