You saw the pictures of the snow at Niagara Falls? As we were on a New York Throughway nearing Buffalo more snow began to fall - in fact, an inch or two fell atop a 1/2 inch of ice. We were supposed to be spending the night in Pennsylvania, but the road became very slippery and dangerous. I had just said a prayer that we would all be kept safe from the storm. No sooner than I had said "Amen." than I hit a patch of the black ice and knew that I had mere seconds to choose between three options. The one I picked resulted in our Ford Expedition flipping and rolling over in a gulley. 

The      three children (Buckley, Claire, and Evey) were all protected by their car safety seats, but the windshield and right side windows were smashed, as well as the top of the vehicle. The snow began to blow in on us all.  The other two vehicles in our caravan thought it might have been us who left the road, so they stopped and called - enabling us to find our phones (which we thought had flown out during the crash).

A young college student named Michael witnessed what had happened. He was heading home to visit his girlfriend, and was very surprised to see that highway in such bad shape, as it's always the first to be cleared. Seeing our plight, he graciously suggested we take the three little children up to his car where they'd be safe, warm, and protected from the falling snow.

An ambulance arrived to find a truck with three car seats and no people, so the attendants were astonished and confused for a while.
 

The car was totaled, and we only had liability insurance, but between the other two vehicles there was enough seating for 13 people and we only had 11 people in our party, so that worked out well and we can continue on to California. So now we have no car, but hey, think of the gas we are saving!

   YOWZERONI-RINI-ROONI! What a miraculous protection was granted you! Praise the Lord for his tender mercies - and thank you, Dale!
