Not the lightning we saw on our way home,

but it could have been its twin. We left the campground early today because thunderstorms were forecast for the area around Carolina Beach. Detaching from the utilities and hitching up in heavy rain isn't my idea of a good way to end a great weekend of camping. No rain caught us until we reached the north side of Wilmington and started on I-40. Then, pieces of water began to spatter on the windshield. Eventually, they were joined by many, many of their friends. Ultimately, the lightning began to flash, and the thunder began to roll. At times, the rain came down so heavy that traffic slowed down to far below the posted speed limit of 70mph/112kph. The trip took about 30 minutes longer than usual and was more tiring than normal. Water on the highway made hydroplaning a real worry. We were almost home when we saw the one and only accident along our route. Someone had slid off the road and spun out in the grass along the highway. Fire and rescue were already there making sure everyone and everything was okay. The rest of the trip was uneventful. I got the camper parked, we unloaded, got cleaned up, and had a late lunch. Thankfully, the rain had all but stopped by the time we reached the house. So, how did your weekend conclude?
