I just wanted to get out and get some still photos shots, and I wasn't disappointed. I have never seen so many small lakes in the area that are usually dry as a bone. 10 days ago, we were 3 inches below normal in Amarillo. Now, we are almost 5 inches above normal. I got my socks and shoes soaking wet, but it was worth it.</span><br /> <br /><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> I almost got carried away by hundreds of mosquitos near dusk. They were extremely thick.</span><br /> <br /><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Finally, special thanks goes to the 3 young bulls for making the shots a little more interesting. Thanks guys!!! Now to the photos:</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_dfUA2MdCxqyG459M2K-nb6QPLSPCIpww_iLM5iDIDrFDTOi-2DyAZRwQHSnwHzBWd2atbAiVsvvXTxkvGUU87Dxr95oKFkSZLEJ3SeQSx1gRT6R3NY33Wyqan2efUJncUsLhYgLR8uU/s1600-h/IMG_3620.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;

I ventured east of Amarillo near Panhandle and Conway on SR 207. Radar estimates in that area approach the 8-9 inch mark, and I believe it. When I got to Panhandle, 207 had a lot of water flowing across it just south of town. I ventured south toward Conway and saw more water on the roads. I then made it north of Groom, where I got sporadic hail the size of golf balls. Most of it was between nickels and quarters, but it hailed so much that it covered the road. After playing in the hail, I decided to head back to the station to get my video on air. I had time, so I ventured back on 207 to see if it was still flooded from earlier in the day. The road wasn't flooded, but there was a lot of runoff from culverts under the road. Lots and lots of water was flowing from these culverts, and it made for some great video. As I made it to Hwy. 60, there was about 4-6 inches of water covering the road for about a 150-200 yard span. This was very close to the Tyson meat packing plant on the extreme east side of Amarillo. I really can't believe were getting all this rain! Amarillo set a record for the most rain in a 24 hour period which was 2.30 inches. This breaks the old record of 1.65 inches set in 1904!

Lots of great video, food, drinks and friendship was in store for this year's event. Thanks to Steve Miller (TX) for hosting it, and the others for helping to make the party successful again this year. I always love getting together with old friends, and making new friends at these events. That's what it's all about! Special thanks for the out of town guys for dropping by to help make this event a success. Now, lets hope we get some good video in 2010 for next year's SDS therapy session!

I noticed a T-storm warned cell east of Dalhart and headed that way. The cell looked ok, but I was beginning to get interested in the LP supercell to the north. I watched this beauty for a while, and it petered out after about an hour and a half or so. I then headed down 385 to catch the initial cell I had targeted. As I got to Channing, I saw a very small and brief landspout tornado about 10 miles to the southeast of Channing. I got what video I could while trying to drive because I knew I wouldn't have time to pull over. It was shaky video, but it was still a tornado, and it was on video. I then continued Se on 385 and ran into golfball hail that had already fallen. I got video of that and continued on. I then began getting pennies to an occasional ping pong hail falling as I made my way south. It let up after a few minutes, and I made my way into Vega where I met up with Steve Miller (TX). We chatted, as I handed him a bag of Dill Pickle sunflower seeds to munch on. By the way, these are addicitve. Anyway, we made our way west towards the TX-NM border to look at another nice looking LP supercell. Steve went on, and I pulled over near Adrian and watched it for a while before heading back to the station to get my video edited for the 10 news. What another great chase in July! Maybe today, I can make it 3 for 3 in July! </span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoghxJmz2tANWSi4XQ4Syc09c82YK2731-VGy7JCKPedBaW4wf01qOWJgF13mEdSEDmUKRIn7rrbf2BGYGxDDWp3zHdQJ9kZ95QDYhAmYTk2DJZCrI9dOD-5k95E2TACTG4pUeHum5hE4/s1600-h/IMG_3457.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoghxJmz2tANWSi4XQ4Syc09c82YK2731-VGy7JCKPedBaW4wf01qOWJgF13mEdSEDmUKRIn7rrbf2BGYGxDDWp3zHdQJ9kZ95QDYhAmYTk2DJZCrI9dOD-5k95E2TACTG4pUeHum5hE4/s400/IMG_3457.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360096299225315442" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmP9GfXt1Py2n6nwf_IGlQt1HueY_RnzDYAMEIFsk0Ca8OuyNfkbNGVcN21X5YHMfHFTOXZ9FOOb_WuGRHybpwuxDubdZ5ymBdCB1eD0rLqhaUnkjeB3qV7-4-60jhh-mNOvXupaWP2Cc/s1600-h/IMG_3463.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmP9GfXt1Py2n6nwf_IGlQt1HueY_RnzDYAMEIFsk0Ca8OuyNfkbNGVcN21X5YHMfHFTOXZ9FOOb_WuGRHybpwuxDubdZ5ymBdCB1eD0rLqhaUnkjeB3qV7-4-60jhh-mNOvXupaWP2Cc/s400/IMG_3463.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360096242455086658" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2PWW-wYv27juI-Z1Sz8diU_aqD5ft-dV_dwtk3xJ-vdbqGQyDK_SLezE3soOGE873fgp5kGueL3WQnbRg_s9aBINjD8BDSV6ff-fZe5d5AcfMrN5ZpMMrsFCFzlv1E5Nm6c33HxsG_Xg/s1600-h/IMG_3464.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2PWW-wYv27juI-Z1Sz8diU_aqD5ft-dV_dwtk3xJ-vdbqGQyDK_SLezE3soOGE873fgp5kGueL3WQnbRg_s9aBINjD8BDSV6ff-fZe5d5AcfMrN5ZpMMrsFCFzlv1E5Nm6c33HxsG_Xg/s400/IMG_3464.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360096183936319186" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3_jCJogj7s7TK9xVdwOMwpN6uOHE9UphygjB33MOyJcg3IfDy8t7dIGXxw8YZHaSzV4nfQf3hBT_017nZEhOKy_ageT_uaw1EvQ8tpxOpzc_B5AcGiI1fO54elN_EmA2k0sdlK7A30x0/s1600-h/IMG_3482.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3_jCJogj7s7TK9xVdwOMwpN6uOHE9UphygjB33MOyJcg3IfDy8t7dIGXxw8YZHaSzV4nfQf3hBT_017nZEhOKy_ageT_uaw1EvQ8tpxOpzc_B5AcGiI1fO54elN_EmA2k0sdlK7A30x0/s400/IMG_3482.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360096110501458818" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dy0EARulOSK7Rl2usrSw4LzcnI0ftcFlMpQbJqLYvA-IJIRtzTxLQvYNVWFlPb59afedC0w1vkuXgejvfUt' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Jason Boggshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10995325417167351303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47052305561614168.post-17632144214071211292009-07-18T00:03:00.000-07:002009-07-18T00:07:24.342-07:007/17/09 REPORT<span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Myself and KAMR Meteorologist Chris Martin headed north from Amarillo towards Dumas. Got gas in Dumas and headed west to get to the convection near the TX-NM state line. As I was driving west out of Dumas I looked over my shoulder to the north and saw a base of an LP supercell starting to develop. I quickly pulled over at a gas plant and watched it from there for a while. We streamed video back to the station for a while and moved north about 3 or 4 miles to get a better look at the now mature and gorgeous LP supercell. The cell evenutally died near Channing so we headed back home and got some damage from either a small tornado or straight line wind about 6 miles south of Vega. Again, a T-storm watch does it for me. I didn't get a tornado, but I saw one of the best LP cell's I have seen in a long time, and it's July!!!</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0jo5buIjr83pTG4d4dPozVyHtV1GPvMnnW8Y1IZwJhkdgE_VU5krbx0A7pizVpqK9ApSpav-06Q9VBQ-Drs5dCO6ntRqK0GQjVceGl3MyRQnL1dPupvpv6nbTZv9dUxgV7l8wTtahiI4/s1600-h/IMG_3409.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0jo5buIjr83pTG4d4dPozVyHtV1GPvMnnW8Y1IZwJhkdgE_VU5krbx0A7pizVpqK9ApSpav-06Q9VBQ-Drs5dCO6ntRqK0GQjVceGl3MyRQnL1dPupvpv6nbTZv9dUxgV7l8wTtahiI4/s400/IMG_3409.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359693037543488882" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_seGZrtWhIko619PTLW7oSoZQd6cyfdFUyvZoTMUO3zK58bNUojsQCo3dmlEIF1DOPk3nohrC8yNbpYEIw_X9gOobGdHHzuzdMUgawc6fLWLh4SeR0-EHJOAy6dwFah_gRSxAfANoeOs/s1600-h/IMG_3414.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_seGZrtWhIko619PTLW7oSoZQd6cyfdFUyvZoTMUO3zK58bNUojsQCo3dmlEIF1DOPk3nohrC8yNbpYEIw_X9gOobGdHHzuzdMUgawc6fLWLh4SeR0-EHJOAy6dwFah_gRSxAfANoeOs/s400/IMG_3414.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359692974884954434" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3UItWCzT9snM1m6Ba2IeKUCeNJZqhQnu13dloTICLt5iQ2x3h5r_RF4GxAV8sJVnASkoqtRnzZwH9yRcjKS0CxxLwzJPLn51-BmGGXTzXSecMsJvc6ATcEwGKcQpYTqvCMmkBaORyZe4/s1600-h/IMG_3415.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3UItWCzT9snM1m6Ba2IeKUCeNJZqhQnu13dloTICLt5iQ2x3h5r_RF4GxAV8sJVnASkoqtRnzZwH9yRcjKS0CxxLwzJPLn51-BmGGXTzXSecMsJvc6ATcEwGKcQpYTqvCMmkBaORyZe4/s400/IMG_3415.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359692928084370066" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiYeIA04ZPHsvl9Xaw1075A9eOg_bGak-kkIBddWBZr_ey29OLg3AH7OWvtDg1rQPsRWMfxGgBs2-j3v3xI09kQLL5Ymzgm48B4LaAZQzsOmub4miuO3i_MRrDdh-dCWrLngyczw4MZw0/s1600-h/IMG_3423.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiYeIA04ZPHsvl9Xaw1075A9eOg_bGak-kkIBddWBZr_ey29OLg3AH7OWvtDg1rQPsRWMfxGgBs2-j3v3xI09kQLL5Ymzgm48B4LaAZQzsOmub4miuO3i_MRrDdh-dCWrLngyczw4MZw0/s400/IMG_3423.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359692866848604898" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW3l74NP9sJL0YW592Mkw1HG5jSKfoVLlCAG6lYi7j0J2gMlr9IHknfv9M9jIoPwYAcy0EMoQ4QD62S_ThRsHrMN0FWynX6-3QCK56thX-Dndpg6YSUidM58xSJ7HRfR2jNXmTZ5nN-6Y/s1600-h/IMG_3433.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW3l74NP9sJL0YW592Mkw1HG5jSKfoVLlCAG6lYi7j0J2gMlr9IHknfv9M9jIoPwYAcy0EMoQ4QD62S_ThRsHrMN0FWynX6-3QCK56thX-Dndpg6YSUidM58xSJ7HRfR2jNXmTZ5nN-6Y/s400/IMG_3433.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359692798656813202" border="0" /></a>Jason Boggshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10995325417167351303noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47052305561614168.post-13996527419190790192009-07-09T21:05:00.000-07:002009-07-09T22:01:41.234-07:00AMARILLO IDOL<span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I spent most of the day today at the All Star Ford dealership south of Amarillo. They were hosting the Amarillo Idol contest. FOX 14 was responsible for making it all happen. I think there were 40 contestants in all, and only 1 was chosen to go audition in front of the American Idol judges. The winner flies out Monday, and its all paid for by FOX 14 news here in Amarillo. </span><br /> <br /><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Most of the singers were actually pretty good, and I would have hated to have been one of the 3 judges. One singer was terrible right off the bat, and he pretty much knew that he sucked. </span><br /> <br /><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Anyway, I had it narrowed down to 2 guys and 2 girls. Boy, that would have been a tough call to make. All 4 contestants were really great singers, but only 1 would go to the real American Idol. The winner happened to be Anthony Johnson. I don't remember where he was from, but he sure did have a great voice. I think the American Idol judges will have nothing but great things to say about him. </span><br /> <br /><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Other than the scorching heat of 106 in the shade, it was a pretty nice evening to get out and hear some great singing. </span><br /><br />Andy Justus and John Harris doing the news live from the event<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRqO3FRiIxY8vyr4wOwkD9yuEPsvPGY3Ra0MX9UX6P2zOUW4eOOQuPGh-8NRJ6NIZ-zYhJlQdu-OwVoHLSLARsBqZVOWzSyXrk-z7Yk4aWnXuCIo2jqF56m_FmjlMjZfd6Cx9KApkfDNI/s1600-h/IMG_3342.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRqO3FRiIxY8vyr4wOwkD9yuEPsvPGY3Ra0MX9UX6P2zOUW4eOOQuPGh-8NRJ6NIZ-zYhJlQdu-OwVoHLSLARsBqZVOWzSyXrk-z7Yk4aWnXuCIo2jqF56m_FmjlMjZfd6Cx9KApkfDNI/s400/IMG_3342.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356691326991724994" border="0" /></a><br />I really thought she was going to win it.

Td in the mid 50's along with strong heating should yield CAPE values around 1500-2000. The cap will be a major factor in determining if anything forms or not. The latest NAM forecasts around 10-12 degrees Celsius at 700mb. Strong daytime heating along with the moisture should eat away at the cap, but it may not. The NAM does not break out any precip for the area, so we'll just have to wait and see. Hopefully enough lift and daytime heating will be able to possibly form an LP supercell or two.

We sat a few minutes and then proceeded to go south towards the storms that formed in the SW panhandle. Steve went SE and myself and Chris went to investigate storms near the Dimmitt-Arney area. They never got going, so we ditched them and made our way to Silverton where better storms were ongoing. We went south of town near South Plains and played in some rain, wind and small hail for a while. We then called it a day.

Today was no exception. I'm not sure why, but T-storm watch events have been some of my best days over the years.</span><br /> <br /><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> I started off in Vernon, TX looking over data and noticed towers going up to my south. I headed that direction and intercepted the developing storm near Seymour. It looked good but never really got going, so I pursued other storms near Munday. By the way, it was very hot and humid down there at Seymour. The cow in the first photo had the right idea! At one point I wanted to join her, but I needed to move on and chase. Anyway, these storms looked ok, but they still weren't what I was looking for. I then noticed a monster cell erupting near Jayton, and the chase was on! It initially headed due east, but eventually right turned hard and headed for the Hamlin area. I made it to Stamford and thought I saw a pretty large tornado under the base. I still have no idea if it was a tornado or not, but it sure looked like it. I didn't call it in because I was too far too see if it was rotating and I sure didn't want to give a false report.</span><br /> <br /><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> The cell was producing softball size hail at this time in Stonewall county. I continued west to the Hamlin area and the storm was looking to peter out. I was headed home, and the storm very quickly regenerated, and looked better by the minute. I went south out of Hamlin to the town of Noodle and took a few more stills. It was a massive beast at this time, and it was tornado warned. It was kicking a lot of red dirt up underneath the main meso. I stayed south and started making plans on returning home since it was getting dark, and I was still almost 4 hours away. I went west out of Noodle and North toward Sylvester. As I neared Sylvester, I had to stop dead in the road for 20 minutes due to lack of visibility and very heavy wind upwards of 70 mph. After this moved on, I headed for home. What a great chase on a T-storm watch day. I love a good ol' T-storm watch! Blah on the High risk days. Now to the photos...</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7a0remBrSINkng1xnpTzHYLlsU7xw6VB4Mq9HD9oAeFywQVo5yqf1EfYI2njDhBF34IYLrQZ4qATPu7DPQSCUmCccKLl3vwECdxhKy_Cwm1X_UWw9XRthWARzzZrVn2M-aewWn4OUdW0/s1600-h/IMG_3127_filtered.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;

Road options out of there are pretty good. I think there may very well be a few supercells today, but they will probably be HP in nature. CAPE looks pretty high, so large hail will definitely be on the menu. The tornado threat will be low, but not out of the question, especially late this evening when the LLJ cranks up. I'll update with photos (if I have any) later on tonight. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);font-family:verdana;" >TARGET: VERNON, TX</span>Jason Boggshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10995325417167351303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47052305561614168.post-77668533009298973062009-06-07T23:37:00.000-07:002009-06-07T23:49:11.980-07:006/8/09 CHASE FORECAST<span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Well, it looks like some severe weather will be closer to home on Monday. Very high CAPE values around 3-4 thousand along with decent upper level wind fields will yield possible supercells. I'm looking at targeting the corridor from Vernon, TX to Seymour to Wichita Falls. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Forecast soundings are showing 0-6 km shear in north Texas which will help supercell potential. There may be some very large hail reports with any storms that can stay isolated and realize the high CAPE that may be in place. Tornado potential is small, but it's definitely not out of the question.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I'll update again before I leave in the morning.</span>Jason Boggshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10995325417167351303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47052305561614168.post-85806398682059619712009-05-31T23:22:00.000-07:002009-05-31T23:31:22.422-07:00MONDAY'S CHASE<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:verdana;" >Severe wx is a possibility around the TX panhandle on Monday. I've been looking at models tonight, and I just can't decide where to target tomorrow. I'm thinking of maybe targeting around the Liberal, KS to Perryton, TX area, but I'm just not sure yet. Tomorrow morning, I'll get a better handle on how things are progressing. Also, Monday is the last day of my chase vacation!

It took about 2.5 hours or so to get there from Amarillo.

There were a few other gravesites around too. The museum located near the gravesite was pretty interesting, but it was fairly small, and no picture taking was allowed. It was $3.50 per person to get in the museum. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:verdana;" > I looked around a bit and decided to go into the town of Fort Sumner. There was another museum in town and I went in to check it out. It was $5.00, and pictures were allowed. This is definitely the museum to go to. The other one isn't bad, but this one is better. It was large, and it took me about 20-25 minutes to tour the whole thing. Not only did it have Billy the Kid memorabilia, but it had lots and lots of authentic items from the wild west, from old guns to wagons. It was definitely worth it! </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:verdana;" >I would absolutely love to take a metal detector around the old Fort Sumner area. I am an adventurer by heart, and I'd love to find old authentic western items. Now that would be a fun thing to do when the weather isn't cooperating!

I then poured over data and decided to head out. I initially started off in Shamrock thinking the CAPE and better moisture may do it's thing. Nothing happened, and I saw the storm near Canadian remain very persistent, so off I went. I got to Canadian, and the storm wasn't looking too bad. I pulled over and got some shots. I then see Warren, Randy and Russ drive by and pull over, so I went and chatted with them while taking in the storm. We saw 2 brief funnels, but never a tornado. Warren called it in to the NWS, and we continued taking stills. We then began going south out of Canadian to take Hwy. 33 east. We pulled over just south of town to give the storm a quick glance, and that's when I met Angie Norris and Justin Goldstein. We chatted a few minutes and I made my way east on 33. The storm looked pretty good but eventually became outflow dominant. I played in the rain and small hail for a while, and then made my way back west. I saw a developing wall cloud with a developing cell W/NW of Canadian. It eventually died off, and I met Warren and gang along with Steve Miller (TX) SW of Miami to take in the last few gasps of the storms. All in all, probably my best chase of the year. Just ask Steve...we had a honking good time!!! Now for the photos:</span><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCMHlkXDatTo12peVG3w1xl9VzIBIOeKT-duiM3vz4ynW0o6_RzYwkySNndjv4dlq3qu4FHyTvX8TKcra4Rn-xTyCxP3Jw1o0_sMZILKpu0k4FXLU0h2qNLoscBLl_6QI4Hb53lG4zYQU/s1600-h/IMG_2916_filtered.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;

I've been taking care of a few things the last day or two. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:verdana;" > I started off just south of Canadian, TX. As I neared Miami, TX, I saw a storm forming to my NW. I made my way to the target and sat for a few minutes. I then made my way up north of Canadian to see the storm a little better. The storm had great mammatus with it, but other than that, it wasn't that great.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:verdana;" > I started noticing that the storm was moving more S/SE, so I headed back towards Miami. Once I got to Miami, the storm was tornado warned and the sirens were going off in town. I made my way a couple of miles SW of town and noticed a wall cloud developing. I kept going and met up with Jay McCoy. We sat and watched the storm strengthen quite rapidly, and CG's were popping everywhere. The storm had a very nice mesocyclone on it, but contrast wasn't the greatest. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:verdana;" > We eventually left and headed towards Pampa as the storm became more and more HP'ish in nature. I did see a fairly persistent funnel, but never a tornado. I headed south out of Pampa, and watched the HP beast do it's thing. Really, I wanted nothing to do with that beast. The hook was amazing, and the couplet on it was even more amazing. I figured for sure there may very well be a large, violent tornado wrapped up in rain. I saw that it was heading towards the town of Lefors. Thats where my parents live. I tried to call them, but they were already taking shelter. I knew it because they didn't answer the phone. I eventually made it to Lefors, and there was some damage.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:verdana;" > Trees were uprooted an large limbs were broken. The baseball field was damaged, along with other minor damage. I eventually made it to the NE side of town. This was the hardest hit area. A trailer house had it's roof blown off, and another trailer house was literally turned upside down. The chase pretty much ended here. After checking on my parents, I got video and headed to the station to get it on air.
