A little bit after we had continued to drive, it seemed like we were wrong. The weather was not getting better, in fact it seemed to be progressively getting worse. As we were driving there was a pothole that we hit and I swear I thought that the ground was going to swallow us up. There was so much water that came up and hit the car we couldn’t even see. The car began to make weird noises and slowed to a stop, making everyone very uneasy and worried.
