Day 16, second day in Texas, run into storm!

So on our second day into Texas on our way to Fort Davis coming from Van Horn, we ran into a storm that started pouring rain on us. We were on the 118 about 12 miles off the 10 going into the mountains, about 45 minutes in we saw some dark clouds along with thunder and lightning randomly. But we didn't think much would happen, but we've also never been in Texas weather before. So about 10 minutes after this video it started pouring rain and got super windy, we started putting on our rain jackets and covers on our bags going to try and tough it out. But a maintenance vehicle passed us and immediately turned around to ask if we needed help, we thought our best bet was to get a ride into town which was still about 35 miles away! He aid he was only going a few miles up to where the highway splits but could take us there, then another truck pulled up which ended up being a nice man named Asgier. He willingly gave us a ride to the next town of Alpine, Tx where he lives, very nice man that definitely saved us from the storm, so if your reading this thanks again!
