i had an experience yesterday that gave me an idea for a thread...post your odd/crazy/dangerous/whatever conditions you have rode in. i was on the water riding along when all of a sudden i (along w/ my family in the boat) noticed a large cloud start dropping down from some thunderstorm clouds moving towards our lake quicker than we thought. we kept watching it for several more minutes as it moved up and down and around, and as i rode into the dock and we got out of the water asap. come to find out awhile later it was a reported tornado not more than 2-3 miles from the lake moving straight towards the lake. no damage was reported, although we passed the county sheriff on our way back home as he was heading out to evacuate our lake!
ok, so maybe that wasn't all that interesting or whatever, but what has anyone else experienced?

Here's one.

Last summer we were heading out into the bay (tampa bay) and it was all sunny so we didn't think twice. As soon as we got into the bay I got a phone call from my wife, she said she's watching on the news that there's a water spout on the bay. I stood up put my hands over my eyes looking around, and there it was,a huge spout maybe a mile or two away from us. That happens alot around here, but there's usually some warning, i.e. rain, clouds, thunder.

Needless to say we turned around and headed for the dock.

A couple of weeks ago we pulled up to the launch and saw this. Waited for it to blow over and ended up having a great day

I work at a marina. We see water spouts (water tornadoes) all the time. They have destroyed our boat sheds and the locals houses all the time. Its no big deal really.
