So I have been meaning to post about this for a while now. When we took our trip to Montana, we also made 2 trips out to North Dakota. On our second trip, we stopped in Medora, North Dakota to eat a picnic dinner before heading home to Glendive, Montana. The weather turned on us while we were eating. It got really windy, and let's just say that taco salad didn't stay on the plates!!!
We got a call from Travis's sister and said that we should leave right then, because a tornado warning had gone out and it was headed our way! We loaded up quickly and headed out. About 20 minutes into our hour drive home the clouds started to change.
This is what we were driving towards. It was windy but no rain yet.
It got worse as we got closer. Travis had seen tornado clouds while on his mission in Missouri. And he could tell that it was coming. He said that the sky turns green and the clouds look like an egg carton.
NO JOKE green sky!!! It came quick, and we could see the clouds rotating. Scary!! The whole time the kids were watch Sleeping Beauty and had no clue. The speed was 75, and Travis admitted to driving 90 just to get us home in time.
This was one of the worse parts. The rain was soooo bad that we were being drifted to the side of the road, and driving 40 mph. It was a pretty tense drive home. I think this was one of the high lights of out trip!!!

Ummm yes I have to agree that was a crazy drive back! Right before the rain hit I pulled over and made Dad drive my car...the poor little thing was being blown all over the place! Glad we were a few minutes ahead of Shannon since they ended up getting hit with TONS of debris flyin' around!
