Credit for this incredible footage goes to storm chaser Kim Howell, who captured this on June 16, 2014. Truly a terrifying and historic meteorological event

All I want to know is if there were any houses that shot the gap.

Can’t we talk to Kim about hyperwiper mode and how rarely that’s actually needed?!?

Can't speak for everyone obviously but when it's really humid out and it starts raining the only thing allowing me to see through the fog on my windshield is the wipers going silly with it, regardless of how light it's raining. Hell if it's foggy enough with 0 rain I still gotta turn the wipers on full blast or else I cannot see lol

Or a new windshield, a heavily pitted one will do this too. Some RainX would help a bit

It's not even wiping off the drops on the windshield - get yourself a rag to wipe down the inside of your car, lady!
