Leaving the Days Inn at Amerillo, we head south again back to Abilene Texas. |
This time we went down on the US-287 and then onto US-62. In the picture to the right you'll see that even the trains are bigger in this country! |
 |
We then fill up the vehicle and ourselves at a filling station on the way. As we approach Amerillo we realize the action is going to be further south than first thought. |

 |
About 50 miles south of Amerillo Texas near a town called Balling we park up and wait for the storm to arrive. |
 |
Reports start coming in on the weather radio of the possibility of golf ball hail, so playing it safe we find a bridge to park under and sit and wait.
We didn't have to wait long before we were treated to another good lightning show, at one time it was almost like a strobe light. Unfortunately no hail! |
