We had a good chase day yesterday. Even though the cells lined up like a freight train, we were able to track a nice LP (low precipitation) supercell near Woodward, Oklahoma. Later, we got to see an awesome lightning show as well. Now we will apparently make it down to the Texas panhandle, for dinner tonight --- at the Big Texan, where I believe we will have at least one chaser attempt to consume the gargantuan 72-oz. steak --- and then a panhandle chase on Friday.

Pictures later... I need to wake up first.

UPDATE: I am awake... and the pictures are uploaded! See them HERE.

Yep, it's looking like today's a down day... but tomorrow looks better in western Texas (and perhaps more of the same on Saturday, except we will need to get the Tour 1 folks back to Oklahoma City and pick up the Tour 2 chasers):

Here's the travel map for yesterday:

12:25 pm CDT

We're on our way to Amarillo, TX... destined to stay at the Big Texan Motel, and then have dinner at the Big Texan Steak House. If you are interested in watching, there's a live webcam feed there that shows whenever anyone tries to consume the massive 72-oz. steak... perhaps even one or more of our Tour 1 crew! See links on the restaurant page...
