Chase Recap:

My dad was in town. It seemed feasible that Saturday the 18th could be a tornado day up near Alva. Wwe started heading that way in the early to mid afternoon hours after I got done working. I had missed the day before due to work, so I was a bit frustrated.

We were on the storm just to the southwest of Alva as it started going up. I tried to find some hail, but couldn’t find any. So we stayed on back roads and stayed ahead of the storm which finally put out a beautiful shelf cloud. We spent the next hour or so positioning with different foregrounds before moving to the next spot. We finally gave up near Carrier and headed back to Norman.
