Hannibal in the rear-view mirror.
After an enjoyable week visiting with friends and relatives and getting some repairs made, I hit the road Sunday. During the week in Hannibal I saw lots of rain, I saw the flood gates put in at the Mississippi riverfront, I had lunch with Ken and Lisa Marks the directors of The Hannibal History Museum and curators of The Molly Brown childhood home in Hannibal and I was able to attend the school reunion with my brother and three of my four sisters. We had breakfast together Sunday morning and it began to rain again. I left Hannibal in a heavy rain heading west and finally drove out of it after an hour. The bullet I dodged occurred later in the afternoon when several funnel clouds were sighted in the Hannibal area. The reason I went west was US 61 to the north was closed by flood waters and bad weather was south and east of Hannibal. I stopped driving at Seneca Kansas and this morning I came on to Dodge City Kansas. Tomorrows goal is Tucumcari and by then I hope to have put the bad weather far, far behind me.
So much bad weather out there in your area. Be safe. But it sounds like you had a good time in Hannibal.
ReplyDeleteHannibal was fun, bad weather in an RV isn't, but at least I got in and out and missed the real bad stuff.
DeleteOur weather has been terrible also. A tornado did touch down about 15 miles from here. Thank goodness no one was hurt but tons of damage. Glad you are safe. Travel well.
ReplyDeleteThe whole Midwest has been aboil this year. Glad I'm out of there.
DeleteGlad to hear you dodged that bullet.
ReplyDeleteWe've just been getting too much rain. Even the grass is praying for the sun.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
Looks like a good year for rice in the Midwest.
