Heat or sudden temperature changes is the culprit. It wasn't split before we went into the restaurant, but the car got hot inside with the windows up and the crack was 12' when we came out about 45 minutes later. When I worked in Brookhaven, MS - I noticed a lot of cracked windshields there too. I would guess about 20% (sounds exaggerated but I really don't think it is) of windshields were cracked. My first stop should have been to a glass repair shop but as mentioned, I didn't see a crack or even a chip.
I rough measured the crack this morning and it was 16" and will probably be much worse by EOD. Yeah... I know I kind of set myself up for crack jokes.
