Two days

Where to start, the last two days have been long and knuckle breaking. Rain, more rain, tornadoes, and more rain.



Yesterday left Jim and Claire's very early and went looking for Starbucks, couldn't find them so ended up with Caribou coffee. Not quite as good. Down the road we go, into the wind and rain and that was the way it was most of the day. Pulled into Effington, IL for the night and had a spaghetti dinner the early night. Up the next morning and on the road by 8 a.m..



All day we again fought the wind and rain, except this time we were watching the tornado warnings. Was going to stop in Nashville and take a tour but when you can't see your hand in front of your face..... All radio channels cancelled their programs and just did the weather. Doug was following along with the map and we were staying just behind the worst of it. Couldn't really believe it as at times, especially when the trucks blew by, we would just be blinded. Hoped to be further down the road tonight but stopped in Alexander City, Ala.

With luck will be home2 tomorrow.
