Moore

My motel is in Moore. I had forgotten the significance of that until I met some people in the breakfast lobby. They were all geared up in work clothes, part of a Bay Area group that does good works in disaster areas. They were here to build houses, fences, and other structures as part of the recovery from that F5 tornado that hit the town in May 2013.

I just want to get out of Tornado Alley as quickly as I can today. It's gray, cool, and windy right now with threats of residual showers. Severe thunderstorms are still a possibility along the way. A 25 MPH west wind will hamper me a bit. I'll get to Amarillo and then see how close I can get to Albuquerque.

OK, gotta go, packing up.
