Summary

We witnessed 3 wall clouds, large hail and 1 funnel cloud.

We thought we tracked 3 storms.

After radar analysis, the first and third storm were the same one.

So 2 storms officially tracked.

17-1/2 Hours.

746 Miles

20.1 Gallons of gas

37+ miles per gallon, 99 Saturn SL1

Our setup area was Topeka, KS.

From here we could easily go any direction, this also put us close to the center

for a moderate area for severe storms.

8:00 am

Left O'Fallon, MO

Filled up tank at Mobil, donuts, chocolate milk, and Ice.

10:30 am

1st rest stop, just outside Boonville.

We had some communication port conflicts earlier.

Seemed that we couldn't keep the phone and GPS connected at the same time.

Everything has been fine for 45+ minutes now, hopefully it will continue!

12:30pm

Looks like we could have seen some storms closer to home!

Just past Lawrence Kansas, going to stop near Topeka to eat and stretch out.

At that time we will be waiting for storms to pop!

4:47 PM

We are battling many connection problems between the phone and laptop!

We are on two storms in Northern Kansas and Southern Nebraska.

Seen many other chasers along the way!

10:30 pm

Day went well, we are now heading home.

1:30 am

We are home, 746 miles!

As Aaron updated earlier, we witnessed storm structure like we have never seen live.

We also came across hail that had been on the ground for 30-40 minutes before we arrived.

We both enjoyed the day, although mobile internet can be frustrating.....
