Hi Neil from the Baron winds are SSE 18mph to my East@ aberlene, turning ESE at 12mph to my West at Great springs at the surface

Hey thanks for reply I thought I was writing for the sake of it!! yep agree and did read your earlier post, still hope we can pick a singular cell on its lonesum its now 1630 no tops that we can see on Baron anyway, sitting fast at Colorado City i20 SW of Aberlene Tx I hear that Tony, might have to be a biggy drive for us tonight and tomorrow to make Pratt but being the last day we will do it somehow.

Anyone out there????

Ok Paul, Woodward has always been lucky for us as Tom will tell you so have a good day, with only today and tomorrow we need to try real hard so a bit of a drive down to Big Springs Tx . Steve n Martin

Me and Martin are heading to Big Springs in a little while, had a busy night we got hit by another storm with hail only marble size here at hotel a mile up the road was egg size lots of broken windows, could have damaged our car quite bad even just sitting in car park. Anyway starting point today as we only have 2 days left is Big springs and see and adjust on way down, good luck Pauls team.

Wow we refueled in anadarko and was going to wait out the storm there but decided to hotel it south of there!!! loads of reports of damage coming in from there, mmm well it was dark storm was right behind us, perhaps a lucky escape!

Hi all we are targeting Red River prob Hugo area with options to drop down to Paris if need we have been driving quite a ways already just got a 150 to do now, very tired after last night early this morning when we got completley hammered by 90mph winds, the place is a mess this morning, we stayed put in El Dorado Ks looked like a storm during the early hours and I was up watching lightning approach around 0300 it started to weaken in our direction so went inside to check radar next thing I know SPC had issued a PDS and hadnt said why???? I just caught something about dangerous and 90mph and the lights went off WE WERE PLUNGED IN DARKNESS! the storm seemed to intencify with no lights atal the lighting was somewhat nasty looking everything went still for a mo -----then all hell broke loose ! roaring winds and debree flying past our room window things crashing and banging around wooooo then the blinking Tornado Sirens went off ! I was a tad concirned :-) had something suddenly developed ? people were starting to run around the hotel must have looked funny all in pitch blackness, anyway it all lasted around 15 mins and it was over, the facts are this morning no power to hotel no breckfast to power to town and surrounding areas no fuel pumps working no shops open --nothing! so we left :-) ok well fingers crossed for something structured today that we cn film in the light . cheer s all, Steve and Martin

yehhh right !

Wooo I hadnt thought about it mmmmm well you could have a point there!

Thanks man say bye to the guys and girls and I hope they get a show tonight, we have already got a discrete place lined up for car cover as we dont want to loose the windows :-)

I cant hear the fat lady singing yet!!! we are booked in to the Super8 in Eldorado and I am optimistic of getting something tonight as the warm air aloft weakens , so fingers crossed we are owed somet after cooking all day in 90 degree heat
