I left Monday morning at 10 am (had to get my hair done first, at 8 am - thanks Linda!!).
Heading toward Little Rock, talked to Susie on the phone. There were little black rain clouds, so I kept the top up. After I got through Little Rock, there was an emergency notice on the radio for all in the Little Rock area to take shelter immediately. There was a storm with high winds capable of causing damage. I was in a town by then that was not on their list.
A few miles down the road, I got a text message from Allen that there were tornadoes that had touched down in the Dallas area.
I stopped for dinner in Memphis at a Mexican restaurant. I didn't know that huevos rancheros could be ruined, but they successfully did that.
After dinner, I drove for two more hours, then suddenly felt very tired. I stopped at the first place that had a hotel. It was an old hotel but it was clean. I was so tired, my legs were shaking.
On Tuesday, I got on the road about 8 am. The storms stayed behind me most of the way.
I stopped to stretch my legs in Abington, VA. The rain caught up with me there. I bought some fig and ginger jam at a country store and got back on the road.
