Road Trip 2019- Day 2

We left St. Louis to head to the Chatterton family farmin Illinois early in the morning. What should have beenan easy 3 hour drive turned into one of the most stressful driving experiences of my life.

Less than an hour into the drive we hit that massive band of red on the radar. Our phones started buzzing with warnings saying, “Take cover now. A tornado warning is in effect for your area.” We were in the middleof farm land. There was no where to take cover. 
I could barely see the road. The rain was torrential. The roads were flooding and waves were splashing up the sides of the car as I continued driving. I was praying loud and hard and fast. Alternating between praising God for protecting us and pleading with Him to calm the storm. It was high stress. 
Finally, I spotted a Dollar General and we ran inside as fast as we could. We hung out there for awhile & then finally got back on the road to the farm!
