Day 16:
This is a picture of my first real prairie thundershower. I saw it building up behind me so I really hit the gas and barreled on towards Calgary. I had just made it to the city limits when the storm struck in all its fury. The gusts of wind were so strong that I began asking people on the street if they had heard of any tornado warning, little did I know that this was just a "normal" storm. I think by asking I scared the heck out of a couple of them. At least the wind was behind me and it blew me to my friends place in no time.
