Thunder and lightning and tornados oh my!

Sept 24 - Man, the weather is crazy! It seems like no matter how unlikely clouds and rain are, where ever I am, it'll rain. We went to Scotts Bluff and Chimney Rock in western Nebraska. It was rainy and cold, but it still was cool to see. Scotts Bluff is a cliff that overlooks the North Platte River and the surrounding countryside. Since the bluff contains very soft rock, it erodes easily (about 8 inches in the past 70 years...that's speedy in the world of rocks.) Chimney Rock is down a small dirt road. (I was rocking that dirt road, going about 50 mph.) We thought it looked like Nebraska was giving us the finger. We left the back roads to my dismay to get back on the interstate. Everything was smooth sailing...until we were about 100 miles out of Lincoln. The rain that we were following all day decided to turn into severe thunderstorms with a couple of tornados mixed in. It was scary
to hear the location of the tornado on the radio, then drive right past the exit for that town.
