This week my daughter and I took a trip to St. Louis to visit a friend of mine. On the way there, just around Effingham, il, a big storm hit. The sky looked angry. It was black, and you could see the rain gushing from the clouds. As we approached the storm I braced myself. It was raining so hard you couldn't see the road in front of you. There were cars pulled over to the side. There was a semi truck in front of me. I could barely see his lights between the swipe of the wiper blades. The rain was blowing side ways. I kept my eyes on that semi's lights, and we inched down the interstate and out of the storm. I'm sure it only lasted maybe five minutes, but it felt like eternity. I was never so happy to get out of that storm! My daughter slept through the whole thing. When we got to St. Louis there were clear skies. It was hot and sunny as pictured in my sketch above.
