Flew to Sioux Falls to meet with Ashley and Kelly with regards to business and there just so happened to be a tornado watch in SE South Dakota the day I arrived. We drove around and saw a lot of storms, but none of them particularly getting organized. We chased with Andy, ending up in Sioux Falls and then heading to Mitchell, SD for the evening.
