Not much to post from yesterday, other than it is a long drive from New Mexico to Kansas. Just to give you an idea, you have to remember that Tornado Alley is 1 driving day wide and 3 driving days long. It is easy to get into the right state to look for a Tornado, but to get to the point were you can see a 15 minute event takes real art. This means finding the intersection of 2 roads and being safe at the same time. This is one of Ron's most amazing skills.
As an example, there is a team from Australia here. When we talked to them a week ago, they had been here for 6 weeks and had not seen 1 Tornado. I hope that they have honed their forecasting skills in the last 6 weeks.
What else is pretty strange, is that with all the hotels and restaurants, we continue to run into the same chasers at the same hotels and restaurants. Just plain weird.
Today, we expect an outbreak of Tornados. We also expect this system to track west and possibly be in Ontario by Friday or Saturday. This is good as we can start to work our way home and track this storm system at the same time.
We continue to get good flow (of wind) from the south east which brings the moisture up from the Gulf of Mexico. This is one key ingrediant to producing a Tornado. There are about 6 other key things you have to throw into the pot before you start to stir it and get a Tornado.
Time will tell.... Off to breakfast.
