Thursday, May 16 @ 0715 CDT: Our chase day yesterday was an eventful one. We caught a tornado spinning up just off to our right near Millsap, TX, then essentially had to switch into "escape mode" for the killer storm in the Granbury and Cleburne, TX communities. After darkness fell, there were massive power flashes and at one point the circulation took a massive shift, so we had to turn tail and run. I feel for those who were affected in those areas. That was a VERY powerful storm!

A few pictures from the day can be found HERE.

And here's yesterday's travel map:

We're getting a VERY early start today, since we need to move significantly farther north. Here's today's SPC prognostication:
