LOL!

Cool or what. Thanks Nick.

My other half tried to get live streaming on her iPad but it just hangs... it is fine on my Windows laptop... any ideas?

wow!I didn't realise any vehicles could do that. thanks

That is just insanely stupid IMO. Stunning footage for sure but to be honest not very clever. Couldn't they have driven away from the risk area or did they do it deliberately?

Yup... packing tomorrow and train on Wednesday to Heathrow and fly Thursday morning. I did wonder if you lot were going to leave some storms there for me to see but it looks like the risk further south is picking up again.

I am never enthusiastic about any hotel coffee so thanks for that.

Do you mean take a jar of instant for when in the hotels or do you mean for on the road?

The biggest hail I have seen is about pea sized!!! Doesn't hail that size dent cars?

Thanks guys and gals. I have a soft holdall and no smart stuff... tbh, smart stuff is not really me anyway. I am getting quite excited now. I have been to the USA quite a lot... lived and worked in New York, New Jersey and Florida... spent 6 weeks driving across the USA, been to Disney loads of times... yet this is the trip I have always wanted to do. I just hope I get some good stuff to see. Obviously a tornado or two would be great (not an EF5 please!) but just to see some supercells up close and to get some pics would be fantastic. Can't wait.

Thanks for that Jo. Great suggestions. I wouldn't have thought that US bug spray would work better than UK. I suppose they are US bugs!!! The Bounce sheets suggestion is simply genius ! Can't say I am a washing kinda guy when on holiday but it has been known. ta again

OK... this is the thing... I guess that my Storm Watching holiday will be a one-off. May be it won't be but I suspect that it will given my circumstances. There may be somethings that aren't so obvious to bring and and so now that you have done it... in hindsight... what might I take with me that I might not think off?

You bunch of loonies! What fun

I'll be there with my other half, Sally. Sounds Great!

I really don't know if this is allowed to be posted here and if not then I apologise and please remove... but I am on Tour 4 starting on 30th May and I am going to document as much of my experience as I possibly can on a blog and I thought others on the forum might be interested. So, if you fancy following along with me on Tour 4 why not take a look at... http://stormchasingusa.blogspot.co.uk/ Also, if anyone has a good tornado pic that you would be happy for me to use at the top then please let me know... I could just use one from the web but I don't like to do that without the copyright holders permission. In fact, I could do with a few so if anyone is happy for me to add their pic to the site just say... proper credit will of course be given if you include that too.
