WOWZA! :eek:
So my storm chase day, which I honestly didn't think I'd say this evening, started off on my way to Duncan, OK to pick up some equipment. As I was driving I noticed a storm had exploded well to my NW and was taking on Supercell characteristics. By the time I had reached Duncan, the storm was tornado warned and had some really impressive structure. It was still rather high based but that began to lower as I watched outside of the store waiting on my brother. I rendezvoused with my chase partner VIA a vehicle switch and after that we were pretty much stuck on the backside of the storm the rest of the way unfortunately. There was a time the storm had some really strong rotation (about the time it was probably over Marlow/Bray) but it never produced from my vantage point, which might or might not be the case since I was 7-8 miles away at that point. I'll have some stills up in a few....the storm had some pretty decent structure throughout and was a nice surprise. I'm taking it as a good omen for the late week :)
Note on stills: These are all before I joined up with Chris Snider and were all filmed by him...so I'm not completely sure all the details on when/where these were shot and where they were looking, so just a disclaimer :)
