Day 4 - HP Beasts
Filed under: Chasing
Posted by: John @ 1:40 am
Well, today was a Moderate Risk day that just didn’t pan out.  It sounds
like there was a tornado late tonight well after dark, but nothing really
photogenic in the tornadic department during daylight.  I’ve heard a few reports
of tornadoes from people, but I’m not convinced yet…  Lots o’ crazy motion
really near the ground, but who knows what goes for a tornado now…  ;-)
 
Jamie and I started out in Wichita today and headed Southwest.  We got
on the storm near Buffalo, OK, that got close to producing a tornado a couple
times.  That storm started to look not so great, so we dropped south to Lipscomb
county, TX.  Near the city of Lipscomb are where the last half of the pictures
are from.  I had to include the one picture of a news helicopter overhead.  We
had two of them throughout the chase.

    Hi John, Wow, I’m impressed! I did not know you were such a diverse man. I love the picture of your famiy’s 1911 steam engine…we drive through the area where they advertise the threshing show and I’ve always been curious. The pictures are great, but I’m sure it is much more fun to really be there. We had to sit out in the hall yesterday for 1/2 hour because of the severe weather in Maple Grove/Plymouth….some of the kids were crying etc. See you when you get back. Val
