There's a reason we're off road here

From our May 12th 2009 chase northeast of Lubbock TX. This was my first chase (a) in the Texas Panhandle and (b) of a dry line storm. Other than very dusty and windy storm outflow we didn't see much, but the outflow that slammed through this area was obviously too much for the electric poles. We didn't think it was a big deal until we headed further east and realized we were waaaayyy low on gas with no electricity to power gas pumps in the nearest town. After holding our breath for another 25 miles or so we found a town that had both electricity and gas pumps and refilled the very empty tank of our vehicle. By that time the storms had scooted off to the east far enough that we packed it in for the day.
