Anyone live up in that location that can assist? Sounds like a good number of them are all stuck together. At least they will have company.

So far, the chasers I know who are currently stuck are Mike Umshied, Adam Lucio, Ben Holcomb, Scott Bennett, David Reimer, and I think Danny Neal (not sure on that). It was an unfortunate situation for them, GPS and atlas showed the road they were on went all the way through, instead it ended at a field and left them with nowhere to go. I am glad that they are all ok.

Looks like additional cells are firing to the West and SW of them. Could be a long night.

Wow that's insane! They must have all been "delormed"..... as I like to say it.

I think Reed Timmer is also stuck.

I believe L.B. LaForce is stuck there as well. He's actually got his stream up still:

I guess he could be assisting, but that road on his stream looks pretty bad.

Update: According to David Reimer's FB page, he is not stuck up there.

I hear that Jeff Piotrowski is also stuck at the same location as the rest.

Mike U has said they have tractors on the way to assist... I believe I saw another status that stated there are now a total of 20 vehicles stuck.

Just to note I'm sitting in my office chair at my home in Duncanville, Tx.

GPS is the devil for doing that, showing a paved road going all the way through then suddenly it ends at a field. I have had it happen twice, once was during a snow storm and I was out taking pictures and GPS showed a paved road that went all the way through.. the road was paved and looked nice but suddenly I found myself in a frickin' field.. the damn road ended. Thankfully I was able to rock my way out and made it back onto pavement.

They all need to include a picture with a thank you note to DeLorme.

A chaser convergance in South Dakota. Interesting. Glad to hear everybody is ok and made it out of the path of the funnels/tornadoes.

On the map, it appeared Timmer was stuck on the road to the north of this group but has already received tractor assistance.

Looks like the next standed item for the chase car will be a winch.

 

[Joshua Nall]

I guess you could winch to a corn stalk. Or do they have trees up there?
