Today’s target was somewhere west of Amarillo, TX. We stopped in Vega to get data nnd wait for the action to begin. There was a good feeling about today since we were experiencing strong southeast winds. We saw towers develop to our northwest. We got some updated from Matt Crowther over the phone. We adjusted our target north and it soon became obvious that the storm forming to our NW was the one to target. We got just south of the storm and headed NE on 54. At Stratford, we went NW to get closer to the storm. A large tornado formed to our west. We had a great view of it. It was back lit and had good contrast. Soon another tornado formed sout of that one. They were both on the ground at the same time and heading our way. Jim and Mike got ready to deploy the Dillo-Cam and Theiss Device in the path of the tornado. They went north, bu the tornado got wrapped in rain and large hail started falling. Jim got his windshield cracked, so we aborted and dropped south. The storm became more HP and it was apparent that if it did produce more tornadoes, we wouldn't be able to see them. Matt tald us about new development to the south. We dropped south and intercepted the storm just NE of Sunray. A brief tornado dropped down and was wrapped in rain. It only lasted a short while. It was getting dark so we decided to call it a night and headed south for the night. Just noth of Stinnet, another tornado crossed the road just ahead of us. Jim saw power flashes that revealed the tornado to us. We then stopped and watched as it moved eastward and roped out.
