Indianapolis & Tornados

We spent the second nite in a Wal-Mart parking lot after two days and a thousand miles into our cross country journey. Excitement reigned here last night as a line of severe thunderstorms and heavy rain squalls came through. The tornado sirens wailed as we watched the TV weather and listened to the National Weather Service emergency alerts as the winds rocked our RV a bit. We're fine, no damage.

The heaviest winds were northeast and southeast of us. We were in Lawrence to the northeast of the city. It's now cooled considerably and Carol is making breakfast. The dogs are traveling well and are really no bother.

We are headed for another Wal-Mart just east of Topeka, Kansas to spend tonight.

Traffic is light on the weekend, but I suspect it will be heavier today on I-70.

This Verizon BroadBandAccess and National Access service is great!! I'm online via FAST!! broadband now. Carol was on for two hours yesterday while driving at 65 mph and we never dropped a connection. So we may be online more often than expected, as long as we're in Verizon cell territory.

More later.
