You do manage to make your way into the woods, where the rain is slightly deterred by the trees. You can hear the trees snapping form the straining of the wind on them, as you keep walking through it hoping to find something decent. You do find something of use, a rather short cliff off a hundred or so feet form the road. It provides wind protection, with most of the rain slouching off of the edge due to how low of an angle it is coming in.
