The tornado


As we reached the end of today's journey, we saw dark clouds that were really ominous and turned out to be tornadoes. As luck would have it, the town we are staying in tonight, Big Springs, Texas, was under a tornado watch for several hours and a storm passed over us but didn't touch down and become a tornado until after it passed. We experienced really heavy rain and hail. Tony thought it was really exciting! I've had enough excitement for one trip and I'm ready for calm, sunny days!
Tony took this photo just behind our motel. Shortly after this, the funnel cloud touched down. Fortunately it was moving away from us!
