Road Blog: Day in Pictures

August 20, 2008

As Barack finished his speech at the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) convention today, Tropical Storm Faye was rapidly approaching the city of Orlando. The eye of the storm was nearing the convention site by the time Barack and crew exited the building and headed for the motorcade. They got drenched! A veteran cameraman familiar with Florida weather looked at the ominous sky and said, "It just gets worse from here."

Thankfully, Barack and his motorcade escaped the worst of it by heading to higher ground for the next town hall in North Carolina.

Check out pictures from the road in the (rainy) Sunshine State and the Tarheel State:
