0845 CDT: Once again, today's tornado probability looks craptastic... as does tomorrow's probabilistic forecast. After that, things look like they will begin shifting back to "normal" in the Plains, but how soon that translates into a good chase day remains in question. My guess is that we will head back to Norman, OK today, and then after that, where we go tomorrow will be dependent upon how quickly things are developing, and where. It's entirely possible that we'll head down to Amarillo, TX for a trip to the Big Texan (and other local haunts of ours) if things look to be developing slowly. We shall see...

For now, though, here's yesterday's travel map... all 3.4 miles of it! Hahahahaha!!!

1130 CDT: We're headed out of Hutchinson, KS, bound for the Guest Inn in Norman, OK.

2315 CDT: We left Hutchinson, KS and returned to "home base," Norman, OK. We got laundry duties out of the way and had dinner (and quite a few drinks!) at Mark and Mike's favorite place: Olive Garden. Now for a good night's sleep and a quick trip tomorrow to Amarillo, TX... and a visit to the Big Texan. Will any of our crew try for the 72-oz. steak? We shall see! For now, though, here are some pictures from the day.
