Well despite setting off later than we would have liked and then getting stuck in traffic, we still managed to get ourselves in between two supercells. I am still convinced I saw something north of our position in the cell that we were concentrating on. Un fortunately my video camera refuses to focus and so. It was a good chasing and ended the evening sat watching the updraft from a cell to our north and chatting with a who is who of storm chasers.

Graham is Arron or John with you still

In between and getting brilliant views

sat watching we saw what looked like a tornado under the wall cloud in the general area of marlow or just to the east of Marlow

well in range of our selected cell - not looking as good as it did but others around

currently approaching Gainsville and looking at intercepting the cell near Lawton

all present and correct and heading north rapidly very rapidly, oh no we are not traffic jam

Well watching storms firing away well north of our location DWF airport and just waiting for the last guest to arrive . Then need to get going as fast as is possible ti catch what ever we can. P aul is beating himself up by watching the cells that we cant make on a live stream. Tom

Here is my offering but at 2.57am I am unable to spend the time editing the video , so make of it what you will. Tom

Can only add to what John and Arron have posted . an amazing supercell an amazing day. Tom

Started the day I Wall South Dakota 55f and flipping drizzle ended the day in Kearney , Nebraska. It was a day full of highs and lows but we got to see the most amazing supercell . Lots of photos and videos top be posted. We had a few near lightning strikes too. Paul will explain better than I. Tom

A couple more My van and all the team taking in the storm

You are right there . the usual suspects Cloud 9, Extreme Chase tours and Paul Sherman Tom

Ended our epic trek on a fantastic super cell east of Rapid City. It was lovely to see. I know everyone got exceptional shots but here is a taster. Tom

Sorry for delay but IT was poor last night good day ending up with a chinese meal. Tom

Breaking News John Hanrahan is happy today Friday He can now join the boy scouts in the USA Tom

Sorry for delay in responding Roger Neither of these cells seemed to be problematic damage wise. The lighting on my video was on the Paul's Valley cell. Tom

Tornado ? we think so, it was reported on the SPC. I am sure better footage will be posted, in HD too. Tom

We want to open our arms to the European Market and so we add a multi international flavour to our breifing Tom

]After a very pleasant day by the lake loaded the BBQ stuff and went back to the motel for a swim footage for this can be seen elsewhere MY LAWYER HAS !!!!!, The nice manager of the Days Inn allowed us to set up the BBQ round the back of the pool area. We then partied for the evening , sausages, burgers, pork chops and minute steaks. Thanks to my assistant chef Rob. During the course of the evening we were treated to an old Irish form oif entertainment . John played his version of the Irish pipes. Tom

Having no chance for a chase today we loaded up with food and BBQ equipment and went to a local state park. It had a lake and in 1866 the cattle drives would rest there with their thousands of cattle to water them. I was reminded about a similar park in Oklahoma where I visited in 1980 . They had an Indian that had the best memory in the world for a dollar you could ask him any question. I waited in line and forgot the question I had planned to ask and so said the first thing that came into my head. Who scored the winning goal in the 1968 FA cup final. He said Jeff Astle scored the winning goal for WBA against Evertonthey won 1 - 0. I went on my way a bit miffed because I didnt know if he was right or not. Whilst on a chase in 2001 I happened to pass by the same park and our memory man was still there doing the same memory tricks only now it costs $5. Once again I waited in line but this time had a stonker of a question that I felt only I knew the answer to. I walked into the teepee a politely addressing him as would an Indian brave putting my hand up and saying "How" He said " a flying header in the third minute of extra time" Tom

Short video from me showing our location and the location of the storm cell that hit Moore We did see what looked to be a tornado on our cell out to our west. The lightning was a little fierce Tom

Well we aborted our chase and we 250miles west To Childress for some dryline action on Thursday We ate Mexican and Rob went for a work out in the gym. Tom

Warts and all Tom
