Unfortunately, you can't see much when you are hit with torrential rains followed by marble sized hail. That is usually a sign a tornado is near. Another clue is when the sirens go off. We had to pull off the road just before our exit to Route 65, (another 40 miles or so to go). We looked around for a drainage ditch to go into in case we actually saw the tornado. We saw nothing.

We gradually proceeded, listening to the weather forcaster who was going on the doppler readings suggesting that a tornado was likely. We stopped at a gas station about 1/2 mile away and discovered that the roof had been ripped off a furniture store another 1/2 mile further south (the direction we were headed). We took our time in proceeding.

Nerve racking, not much to see.

Other than that ...
