Wednesday, April 5
We left Bob and Max's about 11am and set off on the approximately 4 hour drive to Tom and Sandy's home in Richmond Hill. It was a pretty easy drive on I95 North, and we had a few stops for petrol and lunch. There was an unexpected halt on the interstate as all 3 lanes stopped before we crawled along for about 15 minutes until the traffic started flowing again. We were thankful that our GPS was working and it directed us to Tom and Sandys around 5:30pm.
They have a lovely home and made us feel so welcome. Sandy cooked a great meal, which we ate on the enclosed porch while listening to the rain and thunder and watching the lightning - it was quite a storm. Just before we were going to retire to bed an alert sounded on Sandy's phone - it was a tornado warning!! We put the TV on and watched the Weather Channel as it tracked the potential path of the tornado. Luckily it was just going to miss us by about 5 kilometres, but there were a couple behind the first one so we didn't get the all clear to go to bed until about midnight, so it ended up a later night than we had planned. Definitely not something you encounter every day, and a first time experience for us.
