We entered tornado alley today. And, while we have not quite made it to Kansas, our first few minutes in Oklahoma were somewhat of the white knuckle variety. Just a mile after we crossed into Oklahoma from Arkansas, the skies opened up and a tornado warning for our immediate vicinity was broadcast over the radio. Luckily, we were only a mile from the state visitor center so we were able to get off the road and dash into the building for safety. We watched the wind and torrential rain for about 45 minutes before it let up enough for us to get back on the road. No official tornado was sighted but if Oklahoma is like this, we can't imagine what lies ahead for us in Kansas.
