pw4,
Thanks for the great pictures of your stormy trip, glad all went well.
I had a stormy experience in my mini this past weekend. I drove 212 miles from Madison to Barron, WI 3:30PM - 7:30PM on Fri. Just south of Eau CLaire around 6:30PM ran through a huge T-Storm cell for about 10 minutes / 8 miles. Wind, hail, heavy rain, temps went from 82 to 52 degrees in those 10 minutes. What a ride, regrettably, was way too busy driving to take pictures... The mini stuck to the road like an ant on the windshield. Saw 3 cars in median or shoulder during the rain event. The entire trip was 424 miles and used 11 gallons of gas for a respectable 38.5MPG on I-94; = 7 hours of quality time in Capt'n Jack.
