| Nice photos and vid, Steve. Forecasters are having a field day with this one given the "what should have happened" versus "what really happened" events of the day  | |

| Thanks for sharing Steve, hope others will do the same in the future as I hope this forum will continue to grow! You made the best of a bad situation, as far as i could tell all the forcing got displaced, if you saw Meso Mike on SN the storms he was on west of Enid should have been in that 5% but it seemed like the best lift / forcing stayed west of the 5% almost like our infamous midwest cap busts, how did it feel Steve, we are a big fan of cap busts up here  | |

| Pat as you saw, I changed my target all day long as we were on the road....lol
Starting off with I-35 ponca city exit to moving to western Okla. I went off Twister Data for my Ponca city Exit target before we left the shop but went off the Sky`s and my instinct as we drove south. I just knew I had made the right move when the box from the SPC came out and we were right in the middle of it. How wrong I was on the whole thing....lol
Felt like I was on the great Iowa Bust all over again....lol
That little Cell that took off from Nash Okla was a Joke and for some reason, some are calling it a "Supper Cell"....lol
We were right there and it was nothing. I call it a little "Single Cell" It just wasn't meant to happen. I`m glad we did take off after it though as that put us back on I-35 so we had time to catch up with the Kansas cell west of Sadan KS. | |

| Andy as we sat in western Okla (Trust me I don't normally set in waiting on storms to forum) every tower that would try to bust out would get cut off fast. We watched tower after tower just get clobbered. I couldn`t believe we got nothing out of that crap in western Okla as even the air had that feeling in it. However I never got my "Tornado Goosebumps" so I should have know then that it was time to move east....lol Theres nothing like a Cap Bust | |
