Ohhhh yeah another thing to keep an eye on is the weather reports. If you are driving through middle America during the summer there is a chance of running into big thunderstorms which can mean a lot of hail and on the rare chance you might get into a tornado situation.
Of the many times I have gone through Oklahoma, Texas, and Missouri I have ran into big storms and seen funnel clouds every time, luckily no true tornados but we did get held up in Amarillo Texas once because of Tornados in that area. My last trip from Boston I always ended the night watching the Weather Channel to make sure we were not driving into a big mess. It helped out until we hit Texas then there was no getting out of the way when a storm popped up.
