Here's our crew for the case ((c) Jketcham) Tony, Myself and Michael after our successful tornado intercept!
Tornado at it's most pronounced. We are viewing it through the powerpoles over McLean, TX as the tornado moves north of town.
Rotation moves over I-40 as a funnel aloft.
Intercepted the tornado that came south of I-40 and moved over McLean, TX then touched down briefly north of town before dissipating. Chasing with Michael and Tony Laubach. We started the morning in Garden City, KS - drove south and west through western OK while checking data all the way. Tony's tethered mobile phone proved to be priceless as we were able to see the SPC mesoanalysis pages and target eastern TX panhandle.
First Tornado in Feb and first in Texas! 2007 is off to a great start!
Michael and I made it onto the 5:00pm and 10:00pm News 7 abc broadcast.
