Why are you waking up a 3 year old thread????

Great post! I just finished riding from Mobile, Al to Niagara Falls. The weather chased us all the way with flooding, lightening, and even a couple of tornado warnings. Stay safe.

Glad to see you're okay. Last year I was touring in Germany / Austria. The first few days were nice and sunny but then it started to rain... and rain... and rain... When I got back to Passau I was shocked to see that the majority of the old town was underwater. I had to do a few "detours" of my own, one of them hopping on a train to Frankfurt and flying back home to Canada. Glad to see you're okay. Floods are never fun....
