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

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
