Storms where predicted in the South to Southwest Corner of Oklahoma, so we traveled down the I35. while to the east of Olahoma City we came into heavy hail, thankfully finding shelter under a flyover till it had passed. About 10 miles south we stopped on the side of the road and observed some movement in the cloud base.
We pushed futher south and got to Ardmore, even though we were on the eastern cell, thing were looking better! Bases started to form, hail shafts could be seen and we had to take a diversion to avoid the hail at one point.
We came across the bushrag T.I.V. (Tornado Interceptor Vechile) that hopes to be able to drive into a small tornado and film it from the inside.
We then headed west in hopes to catch the second cell, unfortunatly it never came to anything. As you can see from the picture at times we hoped something would happen, but not today! We had started the day in Witchita Kansas, and now was going to spend the night in an Econ Lodge in Witchita fall, Oklahoma.
