Overnight,
however, tornados moved into Alabama from Arkansas, and two people were killed
early this morning in the Birmingham area. There was a tornado watch for our area until
noon today, as well as a severe thunderstorm warning. We looked at the area to our east, where we
intended to go, and found that the storm was headed that way. A tornado watch was in effect there until 4:00
pm. There didn’t seem to be anywhere
nearby without some kind of watch or warning.
So,
we made the decision once again to stay put. We may have been overly cautious, but we are
in no hurry to get anywhere and wanted to play it safe. Besides, it would have been no fun to be on
the road, worrying about what the weather might do.
The
weather turned nice this afternoon in Montgomery, and we took the opportunity
to get out and purchase a few supplies, fill the propane tank, get the batteries
checked out and make a run to the post office.
We had a successful day and felt like we accomplished at least a few
things.
All Clear Now |
The
forecast looks promising for tomorrow, so it looks like we’ll be able to hit
the road once again.
Good to know you dodged that bullet! LV
ReplyDeleteLV, Yes, we were lucky that we had decided against heading north toward Birmingham. Sarah
