We went home to surprise Michael for his 40th Birthday party. Left Monday to return to the boat. We travelled to Columbus Mississippi to pick up our car. Just in time for the severe thunderstorm warning to change to a tornado watch and then to a tornado warning for Columbus. High winds, lots of rain and hail up to the size of ping pong balls. Lightning was endless. The warning sirens were wailing. And us with a room on the second floor of a Days Inn.
We would watch the weather channel and then go outside to watch the storm.
By 9.30 pm the worst was over and we fell asleep. After driving all day, we were so tired that we had to sleep. I do love the weather channel down here. They sure are accurate. They break into the regular shows to tell you what is going on.
Today we got an early start in the hopes of making it all the way to Tarpon Springs. We ended up calling it a day and stopped for the night at Perry, Fla about 3hours away.
Tomorrows another day.
