Day 10: Worst. Hobby. Ever.

Day 10 was our last chase day and we once again woke up in San Angelo, TX, and this morning we knew we would not be in a rush as the storms would be firing along the TX/OK border a few hours north of us. It was close to 90 degrees F (~33 degrees C)...

Day 2: Underneath a rotating wall cloud

I woke up early (why is jetlag always worst the second day?!) only to realize we had been having a 7th passenger in the vehicle yesterday! Buried between two toes I had a tic. This was just 24 hours after Peter’s morning briefing about safety and spraying your feet with bug spray to avoid…tics. Yuck....

Day 3 (May 29th) – Monster supercell in Oklahoma

Today was the with the most promising parameters with very good CAPE, great shear and good moisture as well. The bullseye target that almost every storm chaser went to was western Oklahoma. I was very eager to see my first Oklahoma tornado (33 tornadoes but 0 in Oklahoma) and it really felt like we would...

Day 1: The ridge. Omg. The ridge!

I arrived late on June 2nd after a long but pretty decent flight. Well, outside of the fact that I lost my iPhone on the first leg of the flight! It was a matter of many small coincidences as I am usually quite careful when it comes to my iPhone. It really sucks as it...

Day 9 and forward: Tulsa and some minor Texas storms

After our little rainbow chase on Day 8 we went back to David’s home in Tulsa and finally had a nice and easy down day. I knew I should not be hoping for down days, especially since the upcoming weather pattern did not seem to promising but still, it was well needed. I spent the...

Day 15 – Last day in Tulsa

Our last day in Tulsa was just spent hanging out and I really needed the rest after over two weeks on the road with very few days of resting. We took the time to clean up the car and go out for a bit of dinner. If I would sum these last two weeks I...

Day 12 – Rest day in Tulsa

Although Colorado looked really good today, my choice was already made yesterday and I neither could nor wanted to get out on the roads again just yet. I had a lot of catching up to do in terms of work and rest and it felt really good to wake up and not having to drive...

Day 8 – Meager risk-chase turns into an outlaw chase

The play of the day was Montana which obviously was an impossible target for us. We still felt like chasing though and our forecasting (as well as SPC) hinted at a meager chance of supercells in the Texas panhandle (again). We did not have anything better to do, or chase, so we thought we might...

Day 7 – Picnic sunday in between chases

Our only real plan for Sunday was to go to Rocky Raskovitchs storm chaser picnic in Piedmont outside of Oklahoma City, so David and I went out there. I was kind of hoping to find someone I might be able to chase with since I was looking left and right for options. Some 15 chasers...

Day 6 – Going back to Tulsa

Our last day of the tour was mainly about getting back from Amarillo to Tulsa. We started with an amazing BBQ-brunch in Amarillo and continued eastward. When we reached Oklahoma city a few from the group went to see the Oklahoma City bombing memorial while I, and the tour guides, relaxed over a coffee. When...
