Bad flex disk driving home

Friday night on my way home from dinner I started to feel a bad vibration at 70mph. I pulled off the road and looked under, could not see anything with a flashlight. I decided to try and limp it home but after hitting 35mph the vibration returned and I noticed the gear shift moving. I pulled over and called a friend to tow me home. After getting it up on a lift, I seen the damage. Front flex disk destroyed and the center bearing support gone. The disk held together long enough to save damage to the tunnel.
