CHASE CASE #2

[Shane Adams]

Nothing's changed; getting around the SE side of the Amarillo metro area, headed to I-27, where I'll blast south to intercept the cells east of the NM border heading towards the I-27 corridor.

 

[Jeff Duda]

Perhaps I should've stayed in Hastings. Heading back south on 281 to hopefully intercept the developing supercell SW of Hastings. If I go fast enough, I might make it there as the storm does, so I will have to look for routes east just before I get to Hastings (maybe I-80 depending on how fast the storm moves).

Im gonna keep heading southwest on US-60 to intercept the 2 storms SW of AMA. Ill make a firm decision after I get closer on which exact cell I well intercept.

EDIT: I WILL be targeting the North storm with the large tornado. I'm gonna floor it and hope to get there in an hour, hopefully.

 

[Damon Scott Hynes]

Texhoma, here I come. Going to take a photo of the "Welcome To Texas" sign as it's getting blown over.

 

[Jake Tyson]

Im going to race North, and try to catch up near the nebraska-Iowa border if im lucky

 

[Scott Weberpal]

Off from Pampa (ideally a few hours ago, but I missed a few updates) and toward the developing storms to the NW. I imagine had I seen the updates earlier, I would have taken off toward Dalhart based on visible satellite.

 

[CZandbergen]

Turning west onto 87 south of Happy, TX. Going to hop on 60 and intercept the Hereford cell.

 

[Charles Kuster]

I am on the southern most storm in eastern Parmer, County. Looks like I missed the tornado near Hereford, but hopefully this supercell produces as well.

Edit:

WEDGE TORNADO REPORTED 7 MI SW OF HAPPY TX.

That works! Hopefully I was able to stay with the storm as it tracked across Castro County.

Still following the northern panhandle storm near Stratford. The storms to the N in Kansas and now the cell to my S have produced..hoping patience with this cell will yield the same results!
