Better post these before I forget them:
- I had a severe allergic reaction to cashews when I was four. The only parts of it I remember was that I was eating cashews on my parents' bed and when going to the hospital. My mom says that she took me to Meijer (before she knew of course). I starting crying and wouldn't stop and she saw that my face was inflating like a balloon. I was rushed to the hospital and had to get an EpiPen and IV fluids.
- In 2011 (possibly 2010), my family took a day vacation to Sikeston, MO to eat at Lambert's. On the way home, we stopped at Walmart. I noticed the sky was graying over and mammatus clouds were forming (significant formation of some strong thunderstorms to put it in simple terms). I kept imagining the interstate on the way home, which runs north-south. Storms usually travel from west to east, so I figured we would have a collision with some on the way back. We got on the interstate and drove for awhile. The sky eventually became so dark that we needed to use headlights. I looked up ahead and saw the cumulonimbus tower stacked on top of the core. The updrafts were visible in the movements and the bottom was invisible behind rain shafts. It was sitting directly on top of the interstate in front of us and the only way available was straight through. I remember thinking, "This is going to be fun as hell." We headed into the convulsing black monster and the rain quickly enveloped the van. After mere seconds, the end of the hood was not even visible. Cars were pulled off onto the shoulder and we found an exit. The sky was a solid light green. We parked in a gravel lot belonging to a diner and the wind was shoving against the side of the vehicle. I watched as all the lights in the diner shut off entirely and hail began hitting the windows. The storm eventually moved on. The next day, I checked up on the storm reports for that cell, and a tornado had tracked two miles to the south of the diner location and across the interstate, where we had just been.
