  1. Anyone else booked on the last tour starting on 12th June from Denver?That's the one I'm going on with my girlfriend, her exam dates mean it's the only one we could do.

    Hi Mark, I think my other half and I are booked to go on this one. Not 100% certain about whether to go or not as I'm tagging it to another planned trip
  2. You guys were so close. I would have been terrified!!! Look at all the traffic on the highway too!

     

    Strangely not, the only scary moment was much later on from the El Reno Tornado, when we we stuck on a highway and the guy on the radio was shouting for everyone to get off the same highway as there was another tornado headed our way.. oh and there was huge green hail core behind us with 3 inch hail ! Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image

     

    At that point though we didn't know about what happened to Twistex and the mother & the baby or the people who drowned in OKC. Had we known I'm sure it would have been different  

  3. back in signal area.......who is still with me or are you all sleeping? Got some good structure shots looks like all storms are lining out will see what we can do!!!!

     

    Please tell me you got the Haboob between Syracuse & Garden City KS......if not don't tell Paul about it ! 

  4. Very sad and maybe a reflection on how storm chasing is going.There are lots of people doing good things out there, studying to try to improve safety and warnings of which Tim and crew were one.

    More and more people trying to get up close and personal with a tornado (me included).

    Looking at the pic below, there could have been a lot more. The red dots are stormchasers. Pic from Weatherspace.

    Matty , I chased this storm with NW and part of the reason the chasers were so close together was because there was simply nowhere to go due to the gridlocked traffic and rotations & winds in the storm. Although some chasers clearly acted irresponsibly, most were simply just trying to escape the situation in the same way we were and made similar decisions on the limited options available

  5. Only way to describe today was intense. This is my 4th year on the Plains with the guys and I've never imagined anything like today. Thx to Paul & Tom for working so hardair_kiss.gif air_kiss.gif . I was only slightly scared when we couldn't move due to traffic and had a rain wrapped tornado within a hairs breadth of us help.gif , which demonstrated how bad metro chasing can get.

     

    Definitely will remember my 10th Tornado for a long long time............drinks.gif
