Wednesday we were supposed to have left Louisiana and gone to Gulf Shores, Alabama to meet up with our Alaskan RVing friends Doug and Karen. While we were going through the motions of getting the motorhome ready to go, Tom started feeling a bit light headed. Turned out he was dehydrated and we ended up spending the afternoon in the hospital emergency room where Tom was monitored and pumped full of IV fluids. He was back to normal by the time they released him, but we figured it was probably better to stay in that area for a couple more days before we started traveling again. 
As soon as I called Karen to let her know we wouldn't be getting to Alabama as planned, she and Doug changed course and came right to Louisiana. What a blessing to have such good friends. They kept us company in the hospital and stayed through the weekend. Not quite the visit we had originally envisioned, but we had fun anyway. We even got in a round of golf.
Yesterday we went through another tornado watch and severe storm warning. We never got anything approaching high winds, but we sure did experience heavy rain and a lot of lightening.
Today we are back on the road and on our way to Gulf Shores, AL for a few nights. We are traveling between storms. We are following the one from last night and trying to stay ahead of the one behind us. If the hourly forecast on weather.com is correct, we should arrive in time to get set up for the night before the next storm comes along. But it will probably be another rainy night full of thunder.
