Wish I could join you! I've always wanted to try it but I live so far from where any of this action takes place (in Canada... that's right ladies and gents - even our weather is peaceful for the most part). |
Well, we were in perfect position with several amazing hooks on the radar that were also showing up as couplets (which is a good thing) on the base velocity maps, but simply nothing wanted to drop down for us. There were a couple tornadoes reported, but we figure they were extremely short lived.
Long story short, we got to see some absolutely amazing rotation/shear along with what we believed to be some wall clouds, which is always cool, but didn't see any tornadoes.
We also had to manage to avoid getting hit by hail that was supposedly as large as 3.5" in diameter (In between the size of a baseball and softball), and our radar program said it may have gotten even bigger.
Fun experience, hopefully my third time is the charm, and I finally get to see a tornado 
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
