Final Reports For April 6, 2006 Are in. The Day That Never Was. . .
April 6, 2006
April 6, 2006 was a day full of hyperbole. This should have been a date with about 60 total reports of tornadoes. This particular day was supposed to be the mother of outbreaks for 2006. If you all remember correctly, April 7, 2006 was the big daddy day with a total of 90+ tornadoes reported. I was prepared for one of those type days when the PDS watch was issued across E. Kansas. I personally chased and intercepted tornadic supercell in Labette Co. Kansas near the town of Chetopa by complete luck. I played NE Kansas due to the PDS MD that came out, and when initiation began, I doubled back and headed south to hopefully intercept before daylight ran out. The trip back was the worst ever, at night on Kansas roads. I ended up running over a deer that was hit by the vehicle in front of me. I happened to drive over the giant carcass, and sustained vehicle damage. Anyway, I know many of you were in great position and possibly intercepted on this hyped up event. I did this particular case, because I know sometimes these events throw us curve balls, and we start the day enthusiastic and end dissapointed. This gives us practice for those types of events. Those who intercepted get a well deserved steak dinner, or dinner of choice. Thanks for participating!
