Chase Case #3

[Mike Peregrine]

Yeah, well earlier I realized I'm an idiot and why this couldn't be the day I was thinking of ... even though the boundaries are lining up pretty similar, I'm way off on instability for that day. So I'll just be the sole blip off by himself on Spotter Network that everyone laughs at for having the targeting skills of your average 4th grade short bus candidate. Think I'll take some pictures of cows. Don't be jealous ...

I don't want to change position: still sitting in Ft.Dodge,Ia.

Made good time and got to Lawton before 0Z. Now cruising west on US62 towards Altus and Hollis, hoping for something east of that surface LOW.

I wasted WAY too much time putting this map together. but regardless, here it is... the map of everyone's location to the best of my knowledge at this point:

I won't be editing it further, this is just stupid to be wasting so much time on this!

Not getting the map to work here for some reason, but this is fun and you know it ...

 

[Darren Addy]

Well, I've got to believe that my Hiawatha, KS choice put me in good shape to notice those big storms going up in extreme NE Kansas. Hope I picked the one that will produce! Now trying to figure out how to stay close and still get a river crossing.

Based on seeing just the 21z update: Arrived in Alva right about 21z. As I was coming east on hwy 64, knew I was still behind the front. Gassed up, grabbed some quick food on the go, took a look at the update. Going to try and position ahead of the surface low as that is likely my only play for today. Am now heading south on hwy 281 to Hobart OK. Should be there shortly before 0z. I have a sinking feeling that not leaving the house until 7am MDT (13z) is going to leave me trying to chase from behind.

Now off to check out the 0z update.

I'm at Stewart, MN trying to stay ahead off the line mini supercells that have produced several photogenic tornadoes. Oh wait, that might have been fog on my window. I guess I don't have any clue what I have seen.

Is it time for the results yet?

 

[Patrick Martin]

After the 0z update: Made Hobart just before 0z, and given my position relative to remaining daylight, going to stay put. Can not reasonably make a major reposition of more than perhaps 40 miles before dark, so I'll wait with with the hope that something fires in my vicinity, otherwise it will have been a marathon drive for not.

Are you using a chase teleporter these days? Pretty slick trick to get from North Dakota to New Mexico. I guess this has been going on long enough for us to pretty much retarget anywhere and make it before the event. Let's hear the results and see our bad decisions for the day -

EDIT - thanks for the work you did on this Andrew .... Lots of fun-

That link doesn't work, use this one: http://www.wayfaring.com/maps/export/54047

Why did it take so long to put the map together? It took me about 20 seconds to add each person.

So does the winner of this Chase Case win a lifetime subscription to F5Data?

 

[John Farley]

I'm now on the back road east of Truman, MN heading east to cut south to Winnebago to intercept the isolated cell indicated by radar near Fairmont, MN. I will likely do or die with this cell, as it seems to be my last, best chance. Wishing now that I had joined the Iowa crowd.

As it is getting toward evening, I am also trying to avoid Minnesota's state bird, the mosquito! Yes, they ARE bigger in Minnesota! Mosquitos, I mean.

You forgot me! I'm in Wichita Falls. If it's a hassle to add me, don't worry about it.

I'm a bit late to the punch again, but I'll try and go through my thoughts. When the first info was posted, I immediately though, this would be a day that something strange happened, so that sort of polluted my brain.

I thought Minnesota immediately, maybe around Morris.

Then as later updates came out, I shifted farther south and a bit to the east. Maybe Fairmont, Minnesota.
