Driving through the flats of Wyoming on our way back home from Denver we noticed a rather large vortex heading directly toward us. There was literally no where to go, and we knew we couldn't outrun it. It was probably less than a minute away when I noticed a dirt side road off the other side of the freeway, so I cut through the median and took off down that road as fast as I could. We just managed to miss the worst part of the storm system, but I ended up having to drive through Jackson Hole and the Tetons instead of up through Montana as planned. Later, we found out that several people had been killed by that tornado system in Littleton, which is where we had been staying.
Oh, and I almost died of boredom driving through Texas.
