Tornado Chasing

Chasecation 2013 Day 1 – So… who’s NOT in Kansas?

Ian, James Hyde and I made the overnight trip from Maryland into Kansas! After a long night with little sleep, we just just finished up some breakfast in Topeka and are going to drop southwest to somewhere in the Dodge City/Great Bend/Pratt region to wait for storms to develop.

Things are looking fairly promising today, and we hope to catch our first tornado of the year on the first day! Plans beyond today aren’t 100% certain at this point, but we have a general idea of how we want to play the setups for tomorrow and Monday.

Right now, you can follow us on Spotter Network under my name (Mark Ellinwood), though we may change that up later to include everyone’s name.

Here’s our personal Twitter accounts if you wish to follow along:
