That......

That moment when...

You are driving and you look ahead and see the kind of cloud coming down that makes you swivel your head in all possible directions to check for tornadoes, even though there isn't a bit of wind.  When, moments later, without transition, you go from dry road to full-bore downpour. 

That moment when...

You are afraid to look away from the road long enough to find the emergency flasher button so you just palm the dash until you hit it.  When you realize that a moment ago there was a truck in front of you, one behind you, and one next to you but you can't SEE any of them.

That moment when...

You can't recall if you are on that section of this highway to hell that has a shoulder or if there is a concrete barrier next to you, and you can't see either one.

That moment when...

You realize you've been saying, "Oh God, oh Jesus, oh God, oh Jesus..." over and over; and it is without a single doubt the sincerest prayer you have offered up since the last time your child was suffering in a hospital bed.

That. Was. My. Day.
