Ian Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 We are in Wichita still. I think we may try for something if we don't have to go out of the way but car troubles brought on additional costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aslkahuna Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Having had to abort two chases myself over the years due to tire problems, the number one rule before starting out on a an extended chase trip is to make sure the vehicle is in good running order. It sucks having to watch a wall cloud disappear into the distance while your vehicle is being worked on. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be inclined to shoot down to 54 to get east fast to get in position for those Oklahoma storms, but I'm sure that's a lot easier said than done.

HurricaneJosh Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Wow-- it sounds complicated. The nice thing about a 'cane is there's just one core to chase. It may wobble and it may fall apart-- but there's a single, consolidated, durable focal point to the energy. (And I'm not suggesting 'cane chasing is easier-- it's a total nightmare in its own way.) Good luck, guys-- I hope you get some action today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokeEater Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 problem is the western ones collapsed as the eastern ones went up.. id maybe be inclined to target the one moving up from the south but i dunno what im doing. Storms coming into MO from OK, aren't collapsing, the one about to cross the border just went TW'd, and is strengthening by the minute. You guys really should have went south.
