2015-03-25 Reports TX/OK/AR/MO/IL/IN

[Ben Holcomb]

My target was the dryline the whole setup and I sat in southwest OK sunning. A storm tried to go up multiple times near Wichita Falls, but it was never able to sustain an updraft and visually I never could see it.

Ended up getting some great shelf cloud pictures near Maysville, OK and night shelf/lightning pics in the Arbuckles.

The full chase recap and all my photos are posted at http://www.benholcomb.com/chases/20150325

Hello all I wanted to share some pictures of the Moore Storm that happened March 25. First off it was a suprise storm that nobody was expecting. My chase partner Nicholas Hoad was driving. At first our original plan was to go as far as Chikissha but as soon as we got there he told me to look at the radar and see what the storm was doing. We then decided to go into moore and to chase this storm. Enjoy the pictures. The storm was intense throwing tennis size hail. I will be having video up in a couple of days.

If you look carefully on the middle right of the picture you will see the windcups missing from the weathernet truck we had only one issues with the equipment and it was the fact that the bolt that held the wind cups on the axel wasnt fully seated and it worked its way out and we lost them

This was our visibility on the I 35 we did encounter the tornado how ever when we did we where well out of the way of it. The NWS did fail to call it a tornado even thought power went out and there was multiple chasers on it stating the same thing. These are only a couple of the pictures i took and still have alot to go through the footage should be up in a couple of days thank you for taking the time looking though my chase cant wait to read what you all think.
