0900 CDT: TORNADO!!! For the second day in a row, Fairview, OK was the location of a nice, non-destructive tornado. (See pictures HERE.) A welcome change after we witnessed events in Jopin, MO on Sunday. Unfortunately, after we saw this tornado, many areas to our south were pummeled by VERY destructive tornadoes... especially Piedmont, OK, where many of our chase friends and their families live. We were relieved to hear that none of them were injured... though several of them DID lose their homes. The storms this year are killers, folks, so be careful out there!!!

So today we will likely head into non-traditional territory for Cloud 9 Tours: Arkansas. With a moderate risk for tornadoes there and a likely down day (i.e., non-chase day) tomorrow, it's just too good and too close to pass up.

1115 CDT: Leaving Oklahoma, headed for northeastern Arkansas. Oh, and here's yesterday's travel map:
