Storm Chase Log 18 May 2005

[Guest ChaserUK]

Current thinking this morning is to head towards Yates Centre in SE KS. Will try and refine as we head closer during the day.

BUST - so far. We waited just outside El Dorado, KS until dark but then decided to check into the Super 8 here with wifi - huge rumble of thunder then! Anyway, towers kept going up but hit the stout cap and failed. However, we are very close to frontal boundary which is out to our West so hope that now as the cap erodes we at leadt get some severe storms to watch.

currently watching the storms backbuild towards my location right now - looking pretty severe - expect fireworks and hail within the hour.........time here 23:40

Thats what appeals to me about storm chasing, even if you don't get a tornado then at least your going to get some good T-storms
