Back on July 10, 2002, I went hunting for
a cache in West Tyson by RGS called
Three's Company.  I was looking for waypoint
#1 and not having any luck.  I began hearing
some violent thunder in the distance.  I kept
looking for the waypoint, but the thunder was
getting louder and closer.  I finally decided that
being in the middle of the woods during a violent
storm was not a good idea.  I actually ran
the entire 1/2 mile back to the car. 

A few minutes later when I merged onto hiway
44, torrential rain hit. I never say it come
down so hard.  The road to my house was
blocked by debris. When I saw my yard,
trees were down everywhere.  It took a
couple of weeks to clean it all up.  It 
was only straight winds, but they were
the worst I ever saw since I lived in Missouri.

I found out later that geocachers PA
and MA where out at West Tyson the
same time as me, but they waited out
the storm in the woods!  I would have
been totally freaked, but according to
their cache log, they were mostly worried
about their malfunctioning GPS receiver!
