COMPLETE APRIL 12, 2007 STORM CHASE LOG CAN BE FOUND HERE!!!

Did the day-before-the-day chase today out of convenience to position for tomorrow... got exactly what I wanted; some good storm action during the day, and some awesome lightning at night!!! Chased with Tom Dulong and Jenn Brindley in the van and teamed up with Jay McCoy and Kanani Bright through Caprock Canyon State Park! Got on the big storm moving northeast from north of Plainview and followed it til it was swallowed by the southern cells as we got cored near Caprock Canyon. Yapped with Charles Edwards on our joyride through the Canyon before heading to Memphis on our way to our overnight stop in Wichita Falls!

Nice chatting with you, Tony.
Here are a few pictures I got.
The first two are south of Tulia looking West.

The last one is east of Tulia looking north

Near Silverton, we got into som very strong winds from the south. I estimate them to be around 80mph. They kicked up lots of dust and debris. A few of the dust foots rotated briefly. I am surprized that tornado reports were not called in.

Here are a few of the lightning shots I got from the storm on 4/12 with Tony Laubach and Tom Delong. What a show! I just wish the wind didn't blow us away and make us drive on outta there. It was gorgeous.
