 Very early this morning I left and continued the rest of the way to John Deere in Davenport, Iowa.  Loaded a John Deere 544P Wheel Loader and Bucket that is going to Miami, Florida. Very windy today.  Under a tornado watch and a severe thunderstorm warning while loading.  You can see the approaching storm in the background of the first photo.

For a change, I beat the storm and got out of there before it hit.  I fought the heavy wind all day.  A tornado watch all day too.  I stopped for my 10 hours at the Road Ranger truck stop in Marion, Illinois.  The power was out there when I got there.  Glad I didn't need anything from inside.  593 miles today.
