About five years ago I ended up in a kind of hell called a dust storm out on a highway in a desert area. I was hit from behind by a huge Ford Explorer it totaled my mini SUV...bc of almost zero visibility the emergency responders took a long time to arrive... I was alone in the car and was terrified not being able to see anything but a huge plume of dark orange grey dust, I could hear other car crash to the left of me, couldn't get out of my car obviously, felt like a sitting duck waiting for the paramedics and fire.... I still remember earlier that day around lunchtime a good five hours before my near fatal crash I had been having this funny uneasy but vague feeling... a clerk randomly said to me "are you having an okay day?" ( I said yes) he said "ok we'll take care, we never know for sure in life.." ? I felt so uneasy but couldn't make sense of it, it really felt like kind of a warning but I brushed it off-- he didn't know me or know I would later that day be in a dust storm accident. Has anyone else ever had a kind of bad feeling before something later happened ? It also happened to me early in the morning about six hours before I was assaulted later that day ) not related to accident, the assault was five years later.... I remember early that morning my stomach had butterflies and my heart was beating kind of fast, I felt so worried and looked at the date on the calendar and literally thought "what is it about today?" ... I tried to brush off that feeling and not be so "emotional" and headed right into what would become a very dangerous and traumatic experience
 
I don't recall any specific situations that I had a "bad feeling" before it went shitty.
I did however have a good sense of people despite being a fairly sheltered kid.

When I was 10, I remember meeting a friend's new stepfather. I didn't like him at all. Had no idea why, he was very polite to me but I just didn't like him.
Wasn't long after, I watched him beat his own two year old son, my friend, his mum and the family dog.
He never put a hand on me, thank God. But I learned never to ignore that "feeling" when I meet someone.

Glad you made it out of there. Knowing the danger is still out there, with no way to see it coming or get out of its way is a scary place to be.
