Which is your best chase of 2004?

[Andrea Griffa]

Hello
My name's Andrea and I'm an italian storm chaser.
Last may I and my chase partner were in tornado alley to chase:we went in South Dakota, in Iowa, in Nebraska and in Harper county...We chased some beautiful supercells.
I've felt some emotions you can't imagine!!You, american chasers, have some supercells that here in Italy I've never seen!!You have to thank the low level jet and your Rocky Mountain.
But over all the Harper county meso was fantastic....Really incredible....
Here there's one photo of Harper meso of 12 may with lighting taken form 160 street:

May 29, Jamestow/Belleville Supercell complex

All those tornados, an anticyclonic sneaking down behind us, just the best day ever for me.

May 29:a beautiful day. Make me see something of your best photo....
Maybe you were near Conway spring?

 

[John Gnuechtel]

May 12 was tops for me.

 

[Shane Adams]

Impossible to choose one in a year like this. I'll go with the "Big Three"

May 12
May 29
June 12

All of these days had aspects that make them tops, so I'll say all three were my best days, because there's no way I could pick one of the group, even if my life depended on it. This is a problem I don't mind having.

Has to be May 10th where I started in Sioux City, IA and made the monster drive nailing the tornadofest west of Limon, CO before having to be back in FTW the next day.

June 12

 

[Amos Magliocco]

May 12 for imagery and luck, pretty much everything went right.

May 20 for satisfaction level because we started the day in De Soto Iowa, drove like crazy to near Last Chance, Colorado, and followed a storm way past dark to finally see a tornado near midnight in Washington County, CO. We took a big gamble and it paid off.

 

[Mike Hollingshead]

I'm with SA on this one for sure. No way to pick a best this year.

 

[Dan Robinson]

Tied between May 12 and June 12. Saw my first tornado on May 12 and my 12th tornado on June 12. A season of twelves.

My most favorite chase is June 14th... also probably my most fave of all my chases throughout the years.
