Day 12: Grinnell, IA to Colby, KS (600 miles, 11 hours)
I have a reputation for referring to both weather and driving as "terrifying", especially when they occur at the same time. But I think this day's travel merited the label. Blinding downpours, thunderstorms, and tornado warnings through Kansas made for the longest-feeling day yet. This image barely captures the feel of the storm, which at times was characterized by an eerie green glow that I've only seen once before, when a tornado touched down just near Grinnell.
