Fargo, ND - August 12, 2010

In Fargo we found our hotel, Best Western Kelly Inn and Suites after going around a long block because of construction. This was the nicest place we stayed so far. Only two years old and decorated like a western lodge, all wooden interior lobby and cowboy stuff all over. All the way from the center of North Dakota, near Bismark we had been seeing increasing clouds and listening on the radio to weather reports about thunderstorms building up.
The sky was cloudy as we went to supper at a restaurant next door to the Inn. While we had our meal the first rain came and then stopped before we finished. Going back to the Inn we went to the van to get a few things as the dark clouds came closer from the north, almost over us.
Back in our room we watched the storm roll in and the lightning and thunder hit right where we were. The rain came down and overflowed the gutters on the roof above us and splashed down to the ground below, we were on the second floor. Something on the roof was booming like stage thunder, some metal sheet flapping or something.
That was an exciting storm to see and nice to be in a safe building.
