I did get home in record time. And I had a co-worker ask if I wanted a ride home and at the time, it didn't look like it was going to rain any time soon. Next time, I'll check the weather and be sure, and take the ride if it looks like it is closing in. I tried to get out of there an hour earlier but my lunch started to not agree with me. At one point I was wondering which would have been worse - the storm, or getting sick while riding.

Oh well, I'm home safe and sound and warm and dry. And it makes for a good story.
