Photo of the Every Other Month - Paducah - Crowell TX Tornado

With the help of your generosity I was able to bag this beauty on May 4, 2022.  It's actually nice when tornadoes go where roads do not.  You get to kick back in stress free awe.  View Post

May 23 Whopping 2% Chase Target

I’m currently getting suckered toward the Lubbock vicinity for a round of storms today. Tornado potential is very low and the lightning very high. Good luck devoted chasers!

May 20 Target - North Texas 2%

It's a long shot for tornadoes, but only a 5 hour drive. That's about $90 in gas there and back.  I think that's worth the odds. Maybe some good lightning at the very least.  I'll post up...

Again, today is like plugging in a USB... 50/50 you'll guess right.  I'm leaning toward the Northern target probably because its a LOT less driving.  Looks like a busy week.

April 29 Target - KS and or NE

The NAM says Bam! The HRRR says Brrrr. Har har.
