"Adventure" Outside The Park

This cumulonimbus storm cell was some 80 miles away as seen from our vehicle eastbound on Interstate 80 at the US Highway 6 interchange near Adventureland Park in Altoona, Iowa. As we were in the process of returning home to Cedar Rapids from a day in Central Iowa on Memorial Day, Monday, May 28, 2012, the drive almost felt like a storm chase. The cell, however, kept us at bay even though we were traveling toward it at 70 mph. The closest we would get was about 40 miles, at which time we  turned north onto Interstate 380 toward home. Photo was taken around 3:18 PM.
