After some last minute packing, a kickstand installation, a review of our hand signals, and a short tutorial on the definitions of east and west (don't ask), we headed out of Nashville. It wasn't long before we ran into some showers. BurgMa and I pulled over to put on rain gear while BMRpop just toughed it out. Luckily we had dried out by the time we reached Memphis. From Memphis we headed into The Natural State of Arkansas. Unfortunately I don't think we got to see Arkansas in it's "natural state." I was stunned by all of the flooding. Tree tops were sticking up out of lakes that formally were fields. Although, this was not the most disturbing site of the day. It became clear we are in for an eventful trip when all of a sudden we were passed by Reed Timmer's Tornado Intercept Vehicles, Dominator and Dominator 2. It's unsettling when the Dominator is heading the same direction you are. If you haven't seen this vehicle on Storm Chasers here is a visual for you.
Tomorrow we hit the first and second of our nine missing states Oklahoma and Kansas. Keep your fingers crossed we don't need to take shelter in the Dominator!
