Tornado warnings in Nebraska

We left Utah this morning to head home. We figured the kids might want some time to chill before their vacations were over so we left a day or two early. Good timing.....we hit rain in Wyoming. Right after we entered Nebraska -for a short distance- was bright and sunny. Just before we got to Ogalalla we hit a very large thunderstorm cell. Joanne turned on the radio and checked our weather and we were headed right for a severe storm with tornado warnings. We drove for a short distance before the rain and hail stopped us. We waited for a few minutes (along with everyone else) and then started up again. We went another two or three miles and had to stop again. The clouds were black as pitch and stretched all the way to the ground. We got hailed on again. Joanne was petrified....as a New Englander she has not really seen this type of weather before. We got going again and had to stop once more in the clouds, rain and hail. Luckily, this time the storm moved itself north of I-80 and we were able to go on. A little inconvenient as we lost some time so we did not make it as far as we wanted. Tomorrow we will be trying to make a long haul as we are ready to get back home.
