Yesterday was easily one of my favorite chases i've ever been on -- up there with , and probably exceeding, McCook/Farnam 2019. 

Initially was wanting to sit in Vernon to hedge between potential supercells farther down the dryline vs the triple point, proceeded to Crowell, TX and decided the triple point was the play I was going to be making as the northern storm that initiated near CDS quickly acquired a low-level meso (despite that the updrafts to the south looked very stout and impressive). Storm generated a nice wall cloud before cycling/going outflow dominant for a bit (which was certainly concerning), but reorganized over the next forty minutes and put on a show shortly thereafter.

Altogether between 5:30 and 6:30pm saw at least 8 tornadoes, including twins. Wish I would've been more aggressive with my driving (i.e stayed going south on TX highway six instead of cutting east), as some people that were closer got some mind-numbingly beautiful shots.

Here's my chase account from yesterday on Stormtrack from what will be a top 5 chase personally for a long time to come.

Great write up. When that meso started expanding and got super convective looking (with all the inflow bands and readily apparent SVC) it was pretty obvious something big/fun was about to happen. Never could've imagined beforehand that the day would go that well. Great pics!!!
