Nov 16 A milestone, reaching Demopolis, Alabama

We got underway early in the morning, only to hear the forecast of a tornado south of us, at our destination spot.   So, we slowed down in order to keep our distance from there in the morning.  We passed the white cliffs of Epes (first pic) that seemed to be a mile long.  We arrived in Demopolis about 3pm.  Many loopers that were ahead of us were still there because of the foul weather.  Actually, the tornado took out several houses just outside of town and lightning struck the lock, which was out of commission all morning.  That meant we would be underway with a lot of boats tomorrow morning.
