2-23-07

eastern TX panhandle

 My first chase of the season didn't go as well as I hoped after I missed the McLean, TX tornado.
3-21-07

southeast Nebraska

Spring break was here and I was quite anxious to chase so I made the journey to Nebraska where I witnessed a few severe storms

northwest Kansas

 A marginal setup that I gambled only to bust pretty bad.

3-28-07

eastern TX panhandle

 Tornadofest in the Texas panhandle and up and down the high plains. (4 tornadoes)  [video]    
3-30-07

north Texas

 A setup close to home where I saw a few severe storms and a nice squall line
4-13-07

Seymour, TX

 A day with high expectations and a 10 minute late leave from Norman with chase partners Jeremiah Rosson and Kevin Haghi.  I still believe we may have seen the end of the Seymour wedge from  a distance. 
4-21-07

TX panhandle

 A chase day in the TX panhandle again with chase partners Alex Lamers, Brandon Smith, and Cassie Wingate.  We witnessed a brief tornado and the damage to Tulia, TX after a tornado passed through that town. (1 tornado)

  Jeremiah Rosson, Alex Lamers and I watched a beautiful LP supercell that roamed across the TX panhandle with amazing structure.

Central Kansas

Me and Alex witnessed a tornadic supercell that hit Rice and Reno counties in Kansas. (2 tornadoes)

Greensburg, KS

 A memorable and sad day as I watched the beginning stages of the tornado that would go on the destroy Greensburg, KS.  (2 tornadoes)
5-5-07

south central Kansas

 A very active day with most tornadoes occurring after dark though.  I did see at least one tornado south of Great Bend with low contrast though. (1 tornado)
5-6-07

western Oklahoma

 This ended up being a slow day with not much to show for.

northeast TX panhandle

 A day in the TX panhandle again with the biggest chase crowds I've ever seen and only a couple good supercells.

eastern Colorado

 Lots of hail on the front range for my first Colorado chase this year.

 A gorgeous storm in southeast Colorado and the panhandle of Oklahoma.  I also witnessed a brief tornado from this storm as well. (1 tornado)  [video]   
6-1-07

TX panhandle

 A bad decision to haul it to the TX panhandle today.  Did see some flooding around Benjamin, TX on the way back.
6-6-07

northern Nebraska/

southern South Dakota

 I was a bit indecisive and missed the tornado in the badlands of South Dakota.  Other that that, a pretty bad bust for another over-hyped day and my last chase in what was a very slow June for me.
10-14-07 

Southwest Oklahoma

 It was nice to get a fall chase in this year.  I ventured out with chase partners Cassie Wingate, Sean Waugh, and Larissa Reames to western Oklahom where we had some fun with a giant gustnado.
 

10-17-07

Central Oklahoma 

 

  An over-hyped day with extreme storm motions.  I ventured out with Jeremiah Rosson, Brandon McClung, and Sean Waugh and we got on a couple severe warned storms west and north of OKC.
