600 mile bust for me in southern Indiana. I had the right general idea, but the storms initiated 100 miles or so east of where I thought they might - and as a result I was never quite able to catch up. I was still well to their west when the storms initiated west of Louisville. Visually and on radar the storms northwest of Louisville looked good, and there were several TOR warnings, but the closest I ever got to any decent storm was 10 miles or so to the southwest as it raced away from me. By the time I headed north on I-65 toward IND, the show was over. There was one report of a funnel cloud about midway between Louisville and Indianapolis, but that was before I made it to that area. I could see some decent structure including what looked like a couple distant wall clouds well off to my north from I-64 between Corydon and Louisville, but never could get close.
There were no tornadoes in the LMK or IND CWAs, though quite a few hail reports, so I guess I did not miss all that much, but would liked to have had a better look at the storms. Guess I should have taken the RUC a little more seriously, which had the area of best instability a little farther east than the NAM or what would have been suggested by the SPC outlook.
At least my equipment worked well, except that I need to get a cigarette-lighter power connection for the laptop so the battery doesn't run down.
