Visit to the Woodlands- Day one

We left to visit my sister Julie after church Sunday. The short four hour trip turned into over six. We along with several others got stuck in a very bad storm and traffic slowed, then came to a stop. I was sitting there with the kids in the van with hail, rain and wind pounding down on us. There was actually a tornado about 1/2 mile ahead of us that broke some utility poles onto a semi, which hit another car, thus causing the traffic jam. We were completely stoped for about 1 1/2 hours.
This is a picutre of one of the several utility lines that was broke in two. half is in the road, the other half is standing on the other side of the road.
The traffic.
