Thursday, May 12, 2016 @ 0900 CDT: Yesterday, we thought we might be able to catch storm cells in Oklahoma with windy conditions and some decent hail, but when we got to Tulsa and looked at the updated data, we realized that that chance had vanished. Soooooooooo... we shifted from "Chase Mode" to "Large & Bizarre Mode." That's where we travel around and do "touristy" things, seeing the interesting (and weird) stuff that exists in this portion of the United States. We were able to get to the Dalton Museum in Coffeyville, KS, before it closed, and that was a hoot! Then we proceeded to Wichita, KS, where we had dinner --- at the Hangar One Steakhouse (http://www.hangaronesteakhouse.com/), cashing in on our tornado catch the other day! --- and then spent the night.

You can see a few of the pictures from our day HERE (https://kingkey.smugmug.com/TornadoChase/Chase-2016/2016May11/).

What's happening today, you ask? Well, since things are looking pretty dreary, chase-wise, for the next few days, it looks to me like we will probably continue with the Large & Bizarre Tour. As always, I will document our activities with pictures!
