Superb photo Steve! As you say, I love the colour.
Not surprised your still tired after all the chasing you have done this year. Definitely a fantastic experience though and worth every long day on the road and short night when watching the storms.
If you and Pete have better than you have already posted then I'm so envious, but still dying to see them.

Unbelieveable! Fabulous photos Pete. To actually be there and experience that must have been an awesome experience.

Another great set of photos Paul. The contrasts are brilliant in the 4th one.
Some of the most memorable wildlife has to be those beetles we first encountered at Childress. That noise they made as they fell on top of the cars in the parking lot outside and the state of the windscreen when we were trying to solve the 'dry county' problem.

I would also be fascinated to hear the 2 of you talking when we were coming down, and coming back from, the experience with the rain wrapped wedge and the infamous county road!

With all this time at the Big Texan you might want to warn Ian he might be subjected to the 'sniffer' test at DFW security. They seem to withhold that pleasure for the more....... portly people.
I was subjected to one of these but, with my slight frame, I still don't understand why!
Stewart
p.s. Perhaps you should let Ian drive and you operate the Barons?
-
Your getting quite a collection of strange clouds Paul.

Good luck all. Hope they are waiting for you....

Ian is not happy Stewart!! Super 8 only had 2 rooms with 3 beds in them last night, so the snoring match between Ian & James was incredible, have great Video Footage of Ian snoring and sounding like a DOG!! He has replaced the Boy Racer snore with that of what sounds like a Rottweiler!
Paul S
Good grief! It must have sounded like a cross between Battersea and Euston station. I take it sleep was a little challenging last night :unsure:
At least Ian got a taste of his own medicine though!
Stewart

Snoring or drunkenly noisy? :lol:
Knowing Ian, it has to be snoring!! :lol:
-
Beautiful lightning shots from the dash cam! I should have left my camera with you Paul so you could get some of those F7.1 shots...... :lol: :lol:
-
Maybe 'last night' is still going on and has just been......extended.

With the dirth of severe storms in the last few days the guys must have been grateful for some very well deserved R&R, after the somewhat manic time of late.
I can only hope that this forecast is right and Paul, Ian and the rest of the guys have the opportunity to see what are the most amazing scenes and bring back some cracking photos and video (hopefully they will share some with us at home).
Good luck to you

It isn't a T-Bone but it is the 72oz monster they have on show each day.

It's the equal of driving from London to Edinburgh......... and then back again!!
That's some going!! -
Billy Bob was last seen hitch hiking A lift on the I 35 with a sign for south Decota though the way he was looking he might be walking
Ian
Dang boy, that's some walk you got there. - 850 miles to Amarillo, give or take but boy is it worth it! :lol:
Stewart
p.s. The airline food was outstanding and made you feel like you had never left....

Julie (iansmum) I will keep your "little" bear safe!!

Hi guys,
We've both just got home now. Slightly delayed at the airport and a little bit of a bumpy ride but no real problems. We were fortunate enough to get a sort of beginners guide to/test of storms as we left DFW! CU fields, TCU, Orphaned anvil & lastly a wonderful looking storm around the Springfield area (It was probably only a single cell as it topped out around 34000 feet but the IC lightning was wonderful to watch from above and it adds a whole different perspective looking at it from that angle.)
From the looks of the SPC outlook for the next couple of days the likelyhood of significant storms is defintely there. If anyone can find them it will be you two so happy hunting!

One thing to remember over here is that the most amazing photos come just when you aren't expecting them. Some of the best photos that we've had have been on the days when I thought nothing would happen.
And of course our first friend of the day.........
-
My first high risk day and it amazed me how many people suddenly arrived to chase the storms. No end of traffic jams and cars just stopping anywhere they could to watch the storms develop. With officials closing roads in some areas it made movement difficult sometimes but still some good photos including some significant tornado damage in Claflin.
-
Some serious damage photos from just outside Greensburg. Some of these shots are quite graphic and show the devastation a tornado can cause.
-
Going to leave Ellsworth (Ks) in a little while and head west on the I70 & Then drop south through Dodge City going towards the Panhandles for later, Paul is taking us this way to avoid all the Tornado Damage into Central Kansas, currently have a Severe Storm about to hit us.
Stewart
-
Some fantastic photo opportunities. It was fascinating to watch the 3 storms develop and see the different stages each went through.
-
It just seems unreal sitting here at nearly 8:30 the following morning, watching the devastation on the Weather Channel and knowing the Tornado warning has only just finished for a cell we watched develop yesterday afternoon.
Stewart
, Big Texan beer 
, a damn good laugh........ 
That's some going!!

All praise to these guys. A very well written account that gives you a miniscule taste of what it must have been like. I can only hope that the towns people, and those that responded, are able to rebuild their lives as well as their homes.
