Back in Boucherville

Posted by NRG SVR in 100 MPG Challenge

It’s lunchtime, and I’m in Boucherville, safe - having been nearly hit by lightening on Route 20. I was driving into the eye of the storm, and at one point, lightening struck the asphalt in the fast lane about 20 metres ahead of me - creating a great ball of sparks and electricity.

Quebec City was dropped entirely. Other than staying overnight there for about 9 hours, I didn’t see or do anything. I cancelled my tour of the old part this morning, and came straight to Boucherville, not even showering or eating or grabbing a cup of coffee. C’est la vie.

I will hibernate here for at least 24 hours before doing anything other than sleeping, and catching up on with posts and articles.

    Keith, I’m sorry we couldn’t give you better winds today, the Environment Canada website says they are W at 46km/h with gusts to 59km/h. That must have been right on your nose from Quebec City to Montreal.

    The winds were terribly strong crosswinds, the worst I’ve driven in while in a smart. St Johns to Gander was more of a head wind. I had to try to stay on the road a few times today.
