Only 800k's (ish) so far today

We had this great idea to blast over to Little Rock Arkansas to see what we could see today. Thoughts of a great squall line danced in our heads. Not far... only 600k or so (maybe more, maybe less).

Well, there was lots happening. On the Baron Radar, we could see several Macro bursts with a downdraft in the 100mph range. One of them seemed to be 50k wide. But, we couldn't get to it as it was in the mountains of Arkansas and both Ron and I have too many teeth to go there.

So, Ron decided he wanted a Double Quarter Pounder. We now know why McDonalds is such a great stock to buy. Ron opens the nice box his hamburger came in only to find 1 (not 2) patties. He is pretty sure that they can't count past 1 here. Last I saw Ron, he was negotiating for the other patty.

Nothing really good in the way of pictures today. Sort of like chasing in Ontario. We are still on the road at this time on I30W headed to Texarkana Texas (remember Smoky and the Bandit?). Some big accident on the I30 is slowing us down. Might have something to do with all the water that is falling from the sky.

Tomorrow will be just as long as we head to the OTHER side of Texas.

Again, you can watch our track here.
