12:20 AM (Wednesday morning) The tornado watch for Tulsa county has been canceled. We dodged a bullet. Kansas and Missouri were not so lucky.

When getting ready for a chase, I think the most difficult task is deciding where the best area for storm initiation will be. Rarely do two people agree on the same target. Major military conflicts have been waged over varying opinions about where to drive, how far to drive, and
I’ll post a entry to the Field Journal in a few days, but we’re home — safe and sound. We traveled 1,457 miles through 7 states over 3 days. Encountered one EF3-EF4 tornado in Yazoo City, MS. I went ahead and posted the video showing some of the storm damage in
I’ve been looking at the models and various forecasts this evening and there’s a good chance we’ll have a few severe thunderstorms passing through ahead of the cold front tomorrow; the risk increasing after noon as the daytime heating occurs. It looks like the greatest risk will be hail up to
Today we chased some storms that proved to be powerful, although not really tornado producers. But, if your thing is heavy rain, small hail, gusty winds, and C-G lightning, this was your storm. We started our early evening chase just east of Perry, OK. A possible tornado was being tracked in the
