Short video from the evening Tom

What a good chase day and a lovely supercell for Tony's birthday. We arrived back in Woodward and the storms all came through the area at one point putting the lights out. We finally got to be about 3am once the noise had gone. Tom

heading east at the moment storm behind is severe and has rotation and wall cloud

No problem I have to keep adjusting as we move along Tom

heading to intercept may be Near mead

heading north east towards Doge City area hope to intercept the cell somewhere near Mead

The train, the train boss

Heading towards Liberal Kansas atm cells out NW are really not impressing Paul What so ever not easy to please

I want to let people know that today is Tony's birthday and we want to get him under a supercell as a present

Heading towards Liberal cells out to our north west Paul not impressed with them atm

MD issued for this area Tom

Heading towards Guymon temps close to 100f phew Tom

Now heading to Stratford and can see tops ahead 95F and strong winds atm will be dusty.

Thank for that Paul pretty much agrees with that prognosis. Tom We are on the road and heading towards Dumas for lunch and the on into the Panhandles. Will keep people posted as we go along.

we are currently sat at the Big Texan, Amarillo Texas. Paul is looking at weather models trying decide the best target area for today Obviously with tomorrow in mind. Tomorrow could end up being a moderate. We will keep you posted about our destination. Tom

I had not seen that the camera was being looked for but did hear the the local emergency planning team were requesting people , unless necessary to keep away. As with Moore they need to be able to help the townfolk of the communities affected to help rebuild their lives. We were actually in Childress before we actually knew about what happended to Team Twistex. When I say chill a liitle i mean come to terms with what happened. Tom

We are checked in at the Big Texan and will see what brews up later but for now we are going to chill out a little. Tom

Although there are possibilities out west in New Mexico it would us with a lot to do tomorrow because we will need to be in central Kansas and so.we are heading to Amarillo. We will book in and see if we can catch something that develops out from the southwest. I will turn on the stream as we go. we are with out doubt very down today and finding it hard to deal with this mornings sad news. Tom

Another second clip of the El Reno tornado Tom

A short clip that shows the mile wide tornado Tom

Words fail me and it didnt matter how experienced you were the storm, the road network and advice given by local radio/TV stations meant that we were not masters of our own destiny. Paul made a number of decisions which kept us just south of the tornado however it took all of our experience to navigate away from this monster storm. http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=104525091581377438622.0004646329629eb4ca691 The main routes south were gridlocked and all the other roads ended at the river. I am so sad at the lost of one of this team and last night heard a seasoned chaser cry when he heard this news. Tom
