Tornadic supercells developed in North Central Texas as expected and moved at a very slow pace south.  The first storm we were on produced a couple of funnel clouds and then a really weak spinup underneath a rapidly rotating wall cloud.

We ended up west of Haskel, TX on yet another storm and saw some great lightning and wall cloud, and some sweet storm structure too.  Some more photos from that day.

Down for a couple days now.  Need to do some maintenance on the vehicle and get it cleaned back up, and hopefully a chase on Tuesday!

    I saw the first part of the video when it was being streamed live. I was SO sure it was going to tornado. I kept saying to myself, “Any minute now,” and “here we go.” Reminded me of a few dates I’d been on when I was young, free and single!
