Avoiding severe weather?

We've left Maggie and Jerry's and are on I-90 west which goes north into WI, MN and SD,  hoping to avoid severe thunderstorms, hail and tornadoes forecast for Iowa. It is raining pretty hard.

Later:

It's 3:30 and we're in MN approaching Rochester. Still raining, sometimes hard, sometimes not so. Manageable.

Even later:

Now, at 5:55,  it is not raining and has not been raining for over an hour. We are near Mankato, MN.

End of day:
We made it to Pipestone, MN at about 9pm. No problem with rain or weather of any kind since we got off I-90 on to US Rte.14 at Rochester. So that was a good decision. I read aloud from These Truths, which continues to be a fascinating history of the US - particularly powerful in the way it depicts the role of slavery and the fundamental conflict between the ideal of liberty and the reality of slavery and the interplay between them.  

We are at an America's Best Value motel. Pipestone is home to Pipestone National Monument which we will visit tomorrow.


Yesterday, there was a gathering of the clan at Maggie and Jerry's. Always a good fun time. Jerry is doing well.
