Just blew over us in South Bend. Fortunately we were in a nice secure restaurant eating gumbo, blackened shrimp and drinking a beer. Looks like cooler weather tomorrow for the start of my trek back west.Pat Dilling

It hit us in Iowa City, Iowa while fueling up,70mph winds with all sorts of stuff flying around. All traffic on I-80 had to stop because it was raining so hard you couldn't see. Other than wet floors in the 41 no damage. Same thing happened to us on the way to SB last week and in the same area.Still no sign of rain here in Omaha the last month.Frank van Doorn

WOW 1/8th of an inch, what a deal! Everything in my yard is dead after being gone a week though, grass included.

I had an early start this morning, one of the last Studebakers to leave the host hotel. Pulled out about 5:40 and was greeted with this:
Included lotsa thunder and lightning. I probably could have waited 1/2 hour and it would have passed, but I wanted to get the full experience of a trip to South Bend. Drove out of it in about 20 miles. Rain-X did the job. Car did not melt, but it did leak a little...
Made it smoothly back to see Albert the bull in Audubon Iowa.Pat Dilling

Had the pleasure of being in this storm heading home yesterday just west of Chicago. The front that was moving in was very dark and full of lighting and once it was on me I was entering a single lane of I80 that was under construction, with the heavy crosswinds and downpouring of rain it made it interesting. But at the same time was glad I wasnt one of the many that were riding their bikes to Sturgis. It also reminded of my travels home from Springfield, Missouri last year under the same circumstances.
