Well we decided we didnt want to drive into downtown St Louis to see the Gateway Arch on a friday afternoon. \u00a0We decided to stay at a rest area just an hour north of St Louis. \u00a0We got to the rest area around 9 pm. \u00a0We hit the hay. \u00a0Around midnight the rain started coming down, then the lightning started and then the wind started to rock the rv. \u00a0It was quite a storm. \u00a0It continued thru the night periodically waking us up with the lightning. In the morning it continued. \u00a0It was pouring out and the lighting would roar. \u00a0That wasnt the bad part. \u00a0The wind was still gusting and shaking the rv. \u00a0There was also talk of ha hail storm which would not be good for the rv. \u00a0Well i can drive in heavy rain and lightning but this rv is like a big sail in the wind. \u00a0We really had no idea what we were gonna do so we stayed put and waited it out. \u00a0Finally around 1 pm the weather map showed a break in the rain. \u00a0The wind was still gusting but not as bad. \u00a0We headed to St Louis to see the Gateway Arch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
