| We said goodbye to the Day Inn at Woodward, maybe we will see you again next year. | |
|
| We headed out to Hobart, OK and parked up the van and waited. At 16:00 we notice a cell building to our SW, by 16:20 we knew this was the one to chase. | |
|
| We went down the right side of the storm, stopping on the way to take pictures. finally getting onto the south side as the storm passed across us. | |
|
| Stopping 6 miles north of Benjamin, Texas. We observed a wall cloud to our left, the baron system was showing two rotations in this storm. visually the one two the left looked the better one as you can see. | |
|
| As we glanced to right everything went quite, though the rain a Tornado started to form, you could just make it out before disappearing back in. The rain cleared again as it dropped down, I was spellbound but I remember hearing other people screaming Tornado. I know these things wreck homes and lives, but for me it's mother nature at it's best. Who said Friday the 13th is unlucky! | |
|
| Here is a grab from the baron system some 15 minutes later, showing the two rotations. | |
|
| We continued to follow the storm down till dark, and then headed for a motel, we had to go to a few till we found one with a room. | |
