0810 CDT: It would appear that we have a couple of REAL chase days now... FINALLY! Let's just hope they pan out, because time is quickly running out for the Tour 1 folks. Here are the SPC forecast graphics for today and tomorrow:

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

1200 CDT: We're headed out of Woodward, OK, bound for Watonga, OK... to likely stand around for a while, hoping for all hell to break loose!

1800 CDT: Well, we've been hanging around the thriving metropolis of Watonga, OK all afternoon, and just about all that's happened so far is that we've scared and/or entertained the locals. We've even had a CBS news reporter interview several of our crew and tag along on our... umm... chase. So far they've taken video of us bugging out of the parking lot of the convenience store on our way to the public library (in need of better WiFi). Mother Nature is --- again --- being a bitch. *heavy sigh*

1910 CDT: We haven't officially given up on today's chase, but pretty darn close. We still need to put some miles behind us to position ourselves for tomorrow's chase, and that means making it to Wichita tonight. We've left Watonga and are headed in that direction.
