June 23, 2015 Post Storm Ride

A pleasant morning for a ride. But I wasn't sure what I would find. Our region experienced a massive and severe thunderstorm lasting throughout the night. Two tornadoes touched down briefly about 70 km (45 mi) to the south. 

The only obvious damage I could detect were the hundreds of frogs who fled to high ground (paved roads!) only to have a very depressed experience. They became two dimensional. 

Stats: 25 km (15.5 mi). Average speed 16.5 kph (10 mph). Trip time of one hour and forty minutes. 

Speaking of natural and not so natural disasters: You too can have one of these techie looking things near your home. All you have to do is live about 10 km (6 mi) down the road from one of the world's largest nuclear power generating stations. This is a radiation monitor designed to alert you to a hemispheric apocalypse just so you won't miss it and so you will understand the nature of your slow and painful death. Just saying.
