0915 CDT: Just a quick update for now because my time is short. Yesterday was amazing... and devastating as the same time. I didn't get any still shots of the situation in Joplin, but I was shooting video. Hopefully I will be able to process some of the footage and upload it to YouTube some time today/tonight. For now, though, here's today's SPC graphic:

1200 CDT: Leaving Tulsa now, bound for the Oklahoma City area. Today's setup doesn't look quite as good as yesterday, but it still has been listed as a "Moderate Risk" day by the SPC for much of Oklahoma.

For a few pictures from yesterday (No shots of the storm itself, though... Sorry!), click HERE. And here's yesterday's travel map:

1430 CDT: Looks like the CAP is gonna stay pretty strong down here, so we're moving north a bit. Leaving OKC now...

While I've got a few seconds to spare, let me give you the composite plot of the travel map for Tour 1. It comprised travel to eight states, and covered a total of 5010 miles.
