Leaving Concordia, MO, for Chillicothe, MO, by 22:30. I may be playing a bit of catch up, but fortunately storms aren't moving too fast.

I never made it that far west. Missed a tornado further east by 10 minutes because Lucio was following me in his mighty aerostar and got cut off by someone and ended up spiraling into a ditch into the median lol

Nice, no one would ever expect tornadoes in Iowa, even people who live there
(to be fair I have seen 3 tornadoes in Iowa all with in 15-20 minutes from home, including the EF4 that hit near Sibley this year). Looks like I'm gonna stick with the cell I've been on that's now to the south of Kansas City and hope for the best.

Jetting to Rosedale, MS...

I'm actually not in too bad of shape. Realistically, I likely would have ditched Arkansas an hour earlier or so (since data would have been on the hour--no offense meant, Danny), and would probably be en route to the COU cells and maybe a half hour southeast or so at the time.
So I'm pretty happy with how I've played this one so far, all in all.

As of 2130Z, I'm in Ripley, TN in front of the big HP monster. Will head N-NE with it.

I've just recalculated my route and given that at 18Z, I was still in Hamburg, though the line was still quite distant to my west, I don't think I would be able to make it to Ripley, TN. Best case scenario, I'm just north of Memphis, heading NE and trying to stay ahead of the line. I have no intent on leaving the line, though, as aside from the beast to my north, there is another storm that looks quite strong to my west.

Excellent. Not sure which batch is the main event, but I'm going to stick with the storm just north of Columbia. Going to follow it NE toward the Mississippi River, perhaps into western Illinois toward evening.
Well, piffle. Memphis to STL to home.

Given that I stayed in Mt Vernon, MO this whole time, seeing the storms firing on the 21Z radar, I probably would have started to move northward expecting that to be the main show. So, would head up 54 or 65 north towards I-70. These things are moving pretty quickly to the north, so I don't know if I'd see anything. So, leaving my position at 21Z to hit I-70, Google says just over 3 hours, so just after 24Z I'd be somewhere close to I-70 between Marshall Junction and Columbia. I probably will miss anything unless that line builds to the SW.

Realistically, I would have chased in my home state of Iowa. But with the data given, I found myself driving to NW Arkansas to stay the night. I positioned myself in WC Missouri during the day and now find myself on the broken line of storms sitting in Lone Jack, MO.

I am in good position to intercept the cells south of Kansas City.

I was thinking how to make this more realistic. I would love to give hour by hour updates from 18z to 00z. Only problem with that is A) I would do maybe one or two hours a day and people will want to speed it up, or B) I do it to fast and not give people enough time to play. I am trying to think of a realistic solution. I was thinking about taking it to the Convective Addiction website so I can make multiple pages ahead of time. Then have people advance one day at a time. If you fall behind you can just catch up from the links I provide. I agree with you, normally an hour (even less) update is the most ideal. Maybe I can get something figured out.

By 21Z I'm jamming north on I-55 just entering SE MO. My only play is if the post-frontal instability continued through the early evening and CuNimbs fire SE of the current Iowa tornado (traveling NE at 72mph, yikes!). I almost made the decision to head to Mt. Vernon, IL by sunset, but doubt there will be enough surface heating to induce the necessary CAPEs, so I'll stick with the sun and the less ideal surface winds. So heading N or I-55 for Perryville, MO. Wish I was 3 hours ahead in Rolla by now.
Dennis Dennison
Slowly drifting west towards Memphis,Tn, but slowly, figure I will be doing a U-turn depending on any further updates
