Since last evening, we have been driving west towards tomorrow’s target area. That takes us a bit over 1400 miles in 24 hours, then we have to decide where we’re going to chase tomorrow.
I will be making daily posts about our chase progress like I have in previous years. For the third year in a row, the chase crew is comprised of myself, Ian Livingston, and James Hyde.
We’ll have 15 days to capture the best storm imagery we can muster. I have set the over/under tornado count at 3 for this year, though the others are slightly more optimistic. Not the best setup ever going into the next two weeks, but it is certainly looking better than last year.
You following us on Twitter yet? NO?! Well, allow me to remedy that, then. Twitter is our favorite platform for posting storm pics, videos, and other various fun and interesting things we see and experience along the way.
