truck tip-over

somewhere in Illinois, a couple of hours before we hit Indiana.

 

We'd just driven through a seriously dark storm with multispeed, multilayered clouds twisting and turning into something with an ominous look to it. Just after I snapped this photo (and a couple of others) we found a radio station giving a current weather update.

 

The update? 50 or so miles away there had been a tornado touchdown. The winds were gusting at 60mph, and it was going to be crappy before it got better.

 

KD and I both were relieved that the direction in which we were traveling happened not to be the same direction in which the storm was going.

 

We happened by this tipped-over semi just after it had tipped - an ambulance was on the scene but police had not yet arrived. We wished safe thoughts toward the driver, continuing on our way.

 

*image was lightened greatly or none of us would have been able to figure out what was beyond the pickup truck.
