more powerful than a locomotive, it's a Supercell!

There weren't any worries about apexes, tread or brakes that night...the DC Crew was busy making calls to loved ones and saying their prayers. Thankfully, there was a meteorologist willing to overlook the time zone difference for several late night updates. After locking his radar onto our exact location he concluded that it was a shame it wasn't brighter outside, cause we'd see a tornado.

Gee, thanks bro.

The drive West across I-80 was the ultimate test for these Vette Dogs. Multiple lightning bolts branched across the entire horizon in a mesmerizing show as the DC Crew drove towards the storm. The steady companionship of the Corvettes was a relief as the rain intensified and the winds bullied travel plans A, B and C. Didn't take long to reach a point in the belly of the storm where egos subsided and the reflective road lines were no longer visible. The four taillights of a Corvette have never been more useful than that night across Route 80.

Anyone else in the Mid West during that series of storms? May be you have a different "Corvette-vs-Nature" story...

Let us know!

    I really don't know how people live in that area. What a shock to wake up with your house gone. At least we get a weeks worth of warnings before a hurricane gets here.

    I really thought the Corvette was going to show signs of trouble in all that rain and wind but I gave in before she did.

    That radar image really shows how crazy those cells were. The whole tri-state area was full of systems like that! Insane.
