The prediction for today was the middle of Oklahoma, we set off south, then moved west to get in behind it. Noticing rotation we were temped to gravel roads, which turned to dirt roads which aren't to bad unless they are wet. Once wet they are just like driving on ice, needless to say we got stuck halfway up the hill. Steve and myself got out and pushed Pete and the van back down. We back tracked until we got back onto the  tarmac road.
By then we had lost valuable time on the storm, and after that we where just chasing our tail. We  crossed a heavy part of the storm in hope to gain distance only to be caught in heavy rain and wind. we parked the van behind a bank for shelter, at one point the wind was rocking the van.
To our right was once a road, now a river. You can see by the pickup how much rain dropped in a short time.
We finished the night in the Great Western, Kearney and was treated to a shower of hail.
