Sorry man... Was beginning to think it was such a small outbreak that it was going to take a while before someone got it.... Didn't want to hold up the game....

Guess the date:
- An outbreak of tornadoes on the western and high plains.
- Had an unusual northwest moving large tornado.
- Virtually no chasers saw the Colorado tornado(es), but many saw tornadoes further east.
- The 13z outlook was MDT.
