North Platte, NE Thunderstorm

The weather is very interesting out here on the plains. The last week it has been hot(90+) and windy. Not breezy, but windy-20-30 mph with bigger gusts. Lee will tell you that driving the big guy down Interstate 80, with the tractor trailers, in the wind has not been easy. Bobbi will tell you, forget spraying your hair-you walk out the door and it goes straight up in the air. However, the thunderstorm we had in North Platte was literally an eye opener- no one was going to sleep thru that one. We had gone to bed knowing there was a thunderstorm watch, but we said hey great, no tornados. A half hour later we were in bed and the RV was rocking back and forth like the boat in the 'perfect storm,' We got up and pulled all the slides in, then had the great debate- jacks down or jacks up. Next morning there was 1/2 a tree down, 2 doors down.
