This was the first year I finally had the time and money to chase the plains, and boy did it pay off in spades. We were out from 5/18-5/28 in celebration of our college graduation, and the top three were:
1) May 24th - 10-12 (lost count) tornadoes in S. NE/N. KS (avatar is two tornadoes from that day)
2) May 22nd- Hallam, NE wedge and fun/tense night in Beatrice
3) May 21st - Targeted Norfolk, NE (bit on northern cell), nice wall and possible tornado just after dark
All through it, I couldn't believe how well our target forecasting was paying off.
I'm still astounded by what a great trip it was. It's not often you get to write in a new #1 on the "greatest days of my life" list.
