Tornado Videos

With the season upon us and me a few weeks from heading out to start chasing, I thought I’d make a quick review post about last year.

Last year I got in 2 good chases. I was out there during the entire month of May, and we remember how not so well that went! Sadly, I missed all of the good June chase opportunities. Not even a week into getting out to Kansas to join up with John, I believe it was the first of May, we took a chance on a decent set up southwest of Wichita Falls, Texas. After a long drive from Lawrence, Kansas, we got down there right as things where brewing. We took a stab jumping on the developing storm northeast of where a current tornado warning was issued on the storm southwest of it. We were still getting into position from our long drive, so the storm to the northeast was our easiest play as well. It’s a good thing we did so, as we would of missed out on both storms if we would have attempted going after the southern most cell first. All those hours of driving for nothing was avoided!!!
