Chase Recap:

Beth and I headed out from Norman southwest on I-44. Got down to Wichita Falls, then headed east on US-82. Eventually got on a supercell near Gainesville and followed it into the north Dallas suburb of Prosper where it dropped hail and we took cover under a gas canopy.

Ended up meeting up with a bunch of chasers at Whataburger in McKinney.
