I was on the same storm as everyone else so yeah. copy/pasted from http://MikeScantlinWX.blogspot.com
Well, I started my day in Edmond, OK and had a list of things to get done before I left. I woke up late (imagine that) and needed to do some serious cleaning, wire 3 cig-plugs in my car, and build a new laptop mount. I finished around 1pm and headed toward Lawton on 44. Today would be good as I would finally get to test my Sprint card with all my new programs(SN, gr3, gps) and see how well I can chase by myself. Watched some storms in NW OK get TorWarned but new that the cold front would blast through within an hour of initiation, so I stuck to my Southern target. Talked to Chris Wilburn. He said he was headed towards Hobart to wait on some cells firing on the Red River. I broke W to intercept near the town of Snyder. I could see 2 interesting areas on the base of the storm, but the southern area quickly stole the show. It played around with some disorganized wall clouds for about 20 minutes, but as I neared Roosevelt, the whole Meso had lowered from the base and was putting on quite a show. I set up and watched an amazing wall cloud cycle and occlude, then headed E to re-position. Then she really got cranking. The 10 minutes I spent watching this mothership spin is why I get up in the morning. Even though she didn't tornado, that 10 minutes made the whole day worth it. It was amazing. Heres a timelapse from this spot.

From there on she transitioned into a High Precip beauty, so I punched it once for fun, then turned around and went back to Roosevelt to catch the next "cell" which was embedded in a line segment. Decent wall cloud, but very disorganized. I headed back into the KTUL viewing area so I could get some video for them. I gassed up in Wellston where Matt Hagy, Randy Rhea, and Jessica Sager met up with me. We headed S into a new watch-box where some new SUPs were trying to develop. They never happened and we parted ways near Tecumseh. The next 2 hours I spent trying to get ahead of the line and avoid my biggest fear and a Chasers worst enemy... hydroplaning. Well, I suck so I hit some standing water and almost ran someone off the road. Maybe they won't drive in people's blind spot from now on. Anyways, I slowly crept home(Glenpool, OK) and got a good nights rest. The end.

One day I really hope to catch a tube coming down between those mountains. It was a much better chase than AR on Feb 5, since I actually got on a storm this time. I mainly stayed to the south near Altus, but eventually went to Snyder and then Roosevelt following a small wall cloud (looked a lot more intense in person than the video shows, may post it eventually). Going through 2 hail cores was some of the more exciting times during the chase, which were mostly marble size. It was just good to be out under some storms again.
