Bad luck or just chance... wrong place, wrong time

"recap of what went down"

July 12th, 09 - Ok, here is what went down yesterday. Picked up the car, went to Amanda's little cousin's 6th birthday party, went to the grocery store to pick up some nice cheeses to go with some wine, went to the LCBO to pick out our wines... here is where the skies turned black, literally. We were in the LCBO and right after we paid, we looked outside and it looked like a scene from The Day After Tomorrow. We couldn't see 5 feet past the building. There was a TORNADO that had blown right through where we were, thousands of hail stones came pouring down as if the skies had opened up. Our first thought "WTF, our NEW CAR!!!!". As soon as the storm slowed down, we sprinted through a foot of water and ice, with rain that must have been close to freezing drenching our clothes. We then drove home only to see more damage the storm had done to the neighbourhood, a house down the road even had part of their tree on top of their car. IT WAS INSANE. Sure enough, our car was damaged by the storm, it is full of dents from the marbel size hail stones. We checked the house, everything seems intact but what a day, what a shitty day after all the excitement.
