Into the storm

Imagine driving toward this storm? Manish Mamtani commented that, after taking this photo, he and his companion plowed ahead into the storm, and it was an unforgettable experience:

We went into it and were greeted by strong wind and some hail as well … it was some experience that I will remember for quite some time!

Thank you, Manish!
