Weather is now our main concern. The Weather Channel goes on first thing in the morning on the way to the bathroom. The forecast called for thunderstorms, 2 inches of rain, and an easterly wind, gusts to 30 mph. One look out the window and they were spot on. We got out the door around 5:30 am but packed it in after a few miles down the road after seeing at least a dozen lightening flashes. This day was cancelled due to righteous Texas weather.
Yes, it's true, we rolled down the road safe and dry, at about 65 mph, on our way to Del Rio, Texas, the only way we'd ensure our safety while keeping to our rigid (too rigid?) schedule. We're not happy about it, but there was no other option.
We found out only later there was a standing tornado warning until 6 pm in Del Rio, our destination for the day. The heat and humidity have that pre-storm feel. We ate, slept, recovered and will watch the weather for tomorrow.
over and out
