The things we do for love. Of roadtrips.

I got moving very early.

Car clock radio showing 4am departure time — It was so early even my my phone camera was blurry-eyed. That’s how that works, right?

Before I went to bed last night, the NWS walked back their severe apocalypse warning:

The storms which prompted the warning have weakened below severe limits, and no longer pose an immediate threat to life or property. Therefore, the warning will be allowed to expire. Frequent lightning and wind gusts over 40 mph will still be possible with this line of storms. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch remains in effect until 200 AM CDT for south central Texas.

My apartment roof sounded like it was going to blow away last night, but there was thankfully no hail. The drive was fine. It was rainy and I could see lightning in the distance to the east most of the way up, but things are now overcast and getting brighter. I made it to Sulfur Springs this morning before work started, which is just shy of half way and it’s also interstate the whole way so I can make quick work of the rest of it once I can call it a day.
