0900 CDT: Yesterday's chase was fantastic! No, we didn't get to see a tornado, but there was lightning, hail, great structure and an opportunity for some nighttime lightning photography. All in all, the only way it could've been better would've been if was HAD seen a tornado! For pictures, go HERE.

For now, though, it's the last chase day for Tour 1. Here are the graphics for today and tomorrow...

...and here's yesterday's travel map:

1110 CDT: We're leaving Wichita now, headed for our initial target, Coffeyville, KS.

1700 CDT: Still sitting around a convenience store in Coffeyville, KS... and no cells are popping up yet. *yawn* It WAS good getting to see Mark and Rebecca, though! You guys be safe out there! I feel sure we'll be bumping into you once or twice during the next couple of weeks!

1730 CDT: Okay, so the CAP is just too strong today... We give up. We're gonna head back to Norman, OK now. We'll stop somewhere along the way and grab some dinner.
