I have a vivid memory of my Grandma telling me that she didn’t want me to go on this trip and that she had a hard time picturing her little redhead driving across the country all by herself. Being as strong willed as her, I didn’t listen to her but I did listen to her advice about checking the weather when I got in the car. I have been blessed with pretty mild weather during my drives but yesterday I was made aware of how close I was outrunning the bad weather.
On Tuesday I drove a 1000 miles from Chicago to Denver with only a little rain and no accidents. So I was surprised when I heard that there were sever storms in Nebraska on Wednesday. Watching the morning news I overheard them mention tornados in Aurora, Nebraska, which after doing a little googling found this was town I drove through on my way to Denver. Here is picture from the storm:
Ok, I don’t even know what I would have done if I had seen this on the road. I mean, where do you go to outrun this? Thankfully, I didn’t have to figure that out and I am now out of tornado danger. Thanks for the advice, Grandma.
