Starting Friday, forecasts were showing the remnants of a tropical storm pushing into the middle of the country by mid-day Sunday.  As a result we planned to depart Washington at O-dark-thirty, in an attempt to get to Indiana before the storms arrived.

It was not to be.  First our wake-up call never came, then we blew our back-up alarm clock.  Finally, our airport shuttle bus was late, all of which resulted in our getting to Hawthorne-Piedmont a couple of hours behind schedule. 

Unfortunately the weather forecast (for once) proved to be 100% accurate, and we ended up hitting low clouds, heavy rain, and thunderstorms near Indianapolis.  We ended up stopping for lunch in Portland, Indiana (with John, a fellow traveler who was also waiting out the weather), and spending the night in nearby Anderson, just north of Indianapolis.   

That night, tornados swept through the area, but Atlas came through unscathed...

In Zanesville, Ohio for fuel...	Still in the clear in Ohio...	Fellow traveler, John, stuck in Portland, IN. We went to lunch with him...	Heading back to the plane after lunch -- we didn't make it much farther, having to stop for the night in Anderson, Indiana...
