Was I insane to do this yesterday to avoid the weather?

So it was my day off yesterday. Wife was at work, so it was just me and the dogs chilling. I am at home, (live very close to interstate in Prairieville.) watching the crazy weather on TV.
They say a bad cell will be passing over Prairieville in 20 min. So I make the quick decision to put my shoes on, put the dogs in the car and go to Sorrento. The first cell was mostly above us, so that's why I went south. I parked at a gas station and watched the clouds pass right by. This was the same cell that later hit Killian with a Tornado. I watched FB live to keep up and see if storm shifted or another one was popping up in Sorrento where I was. I went back home 25 min later.
As soon as I get home, they say another cell popped up and was going to be mostly south of us (but we were still in the path zone) passing over Gonzales/Dville. At first I was like screw it, I am not leaving again. But then I changed my mind and did the samething except I went North to Highland Road and stopped at a gas station and did the same as the first time. This cell had the Tornado that hit Donaldsonville and later N.O.
I know I took a chance since there could have been a wreck on the interstate and I could have gotten trapped. But, with a 20 min heads up, I felt like it was worth it.
Wife said it was risky, but I felt like it was a good move with a 20 min warning and visual on FB live.
