Tue, Mar 28, 2023:  Ocala, FL, to Dothan, AL:  According to the weather report last night, they were calling for severe weather along the I10 corridor.  Right where we’re headed.  After we left Ocala we took Rt. 27 north which is a limited-access, four-lane highway.  No signs of bad weather yet.  And this route is so pretty.  Plus there was a blanket of wild flowers here and there along this route.  Spring is in the air.  Just before we got on I10, Mike took over driving.  We were okay until about the last two hours of the drive when we encountered heavy rain.  At times it was raining so hard it was difficult to see.  Thankfully, Mike was driving.  There were several areas of flooding and some ponding on the roads.  We arrived at the hotel at around 2:30.  Fortunately, it had stopped raining by then.  Glad this travel day is over.  Tomorrow we leave for New Albany, MS.
