Sorry man, my best "humor" shot was the audio in your vehicle when we got cored and were trying to escape it, your face red and veins bulging more with each loud metalic baseball sized thud, and I just had to ask "Is this a good time to say I told you so?" If I ever release a video, THAT clip is going on it!

We laughed so much a few days there my abdomen muscles were actually sore for a while. You can't buy that kind of good chasing fun! Although I would have given anything to had my camera on Dennis the minute that lightning struck the fence about a 1/4 mile down and it grounded at the metal gate next to him with a loud ZAP. At which time I asked, "Didn't anyone warn you about my legendary lightning attraction abilities?" and he says "You could have told me that BEFORE that happened!"

Indeed! Here is the result of not listening to your chase partner who is watching radar and GPS that it's time to go NOW!

Of course, one should listen to their chase partner when they say a tornado is imminent, right? ;-) Lots of good times that long weekend to be certain! :D

These couple of days were a couple of the funniest, scariest, most enjoyable, and memorable in a lot of years.
In addition to above, I also think back to the night before the lightning attack standing next to David, when I was trying to outrun the tornado I saw right in front of me during a lightning strike. I was flying down this dirt road at close to 9:15 at night. I never looked back as I didn't want to see this black blob again. All I remember was the wind was blowing me sideways for what seemed like a mile or more.
I saw a set of headlights that looked like they were miles away. I finally got to them and there were three guys (Jay McCoy, Jeff Bernard, and Jason Boggs) busting their guts laughing at me. I must have looked like some wild man slamming on the brakes and bailing out of the car, saying: "I will never chase at night again!" So of course, the next night, we all do it again and Jay and Jeff reminded me of it as we are stopping to eat at midnight at Sonic.
No physical pictures other than what Steve posted from the next morning outside the motel, but some great pictures in my mind. THANKS guys.

Skip,

Was that after we ran into you guys at the gas station in Salina, KS, in late May? Dan and I noticed that you guys had something on the roof of your vehicle when you drove off towards the on-ramp to I135 in SLN, but I can't remember what it was (a drink? some fries?).

Haha... yes, May 25th. That was my 'Twister' moment (Dr. Reeves- lemonade). The weather gods were hungry and I sacrificed my tasty fries to appease them.. that paid some nice dividends!
 
Had a few of these made to wear out chasing. It's a bit of an inside joke between me and Ludin. We seem to get our fair share of "see texts" around here.
