This page was updated daily while we were actually on the chase, so it is a little rough, but it gives an account of things while they are happening. After stopping in a dirty truck stop in Rochelle, IL for a very very long time, we decided to head to Oklahoma.
Tomorrow looks a little better than today.
We arrived in the Oklahoma City area, and decided to go to Norman, where the Storm Prediction Center , National Severe Storms Laboratory and University of Oklahoma are located. On the way, along I-35, there was some tornado damage that we could see. The freeway ramps to those areas are closed, so we have to find back roads this afternoon. According to the SPC 2-day outlook, there is a possibility of convection North of us, in Kansas or Nebraska. Now we are going to sit here, examine our pathetic trip and this really really sucky beautiful weather.
