We had high hopes for today. Our target was Siminole, TX. We arrived and waited for initiation. Storms formed nearby and to our south. We went for the storm to the south and experienced hail up to 1.3" The storms never did get as organized as we expected.

May 5

Our original target was in KS, but after looking at the RUC model, we targeted the southern target. A cell formed W of Roswell, NM and we had a good road to intercept it. We got to the storm W od Roswell and it had some nice structure to it. All the cars coming out of the storm had broken windows from the hail, so we decided not to let the core catch us.

May 4

The first day of tour #1. We traveled to Amarillo, TX. On the way we stopped to film a halo around the sun.

This storm was visible from the house. I took these pictures of lighting next to Orion from my roof.

I chased with Rocky Rascovich and Mark McGowan. Today's target was not very clear. We ended up going a little west of Oklahoma City. It wasn't long before towers developed in SW Oklahoma and we continued west. We dropped south to Corn, OK and observed the first storm. It was fairly high based and didn't look very promising. We abandoned it for another better looking storm to it's SW. Near Rocky, OK we watched as a wall cloud tried to form. Soon, we started to get hail. It got up to about 2.5 inches and we dropped south to get out of it. The storm moved over us and we continued east to stay up with it. It had a stacked plates appearance for a little while and produced a few brief funnels. After dark, we were going to stay in Binger and let the hail core come over us when it wrapped up better and we decided to go a little SE to get a view if it produced a tornado. We did witness power flashes, but couldn’t confirm anything. It produced some great lighting before we got behind it and continued to Union City then back home since it was getting late and not easy to see any features.
