We had another great day on May 26. We saw more tornadoes (we lost count of how many we have seen on this trip)! Mike, the driver of one of the vans (not the one I was in) got stuck in the mud and we had to wait out the hail before we (the vehicle I was in) could pull him out of the mud. We then drove towards a town to find shelter from the hail. We found a building with an overhang that was large enough for all three vehicles to fit under. We listened as the hail pounded the metal roof. What a sound!! We nicknamed this event "The Collision at Collison". After the hail, we continued down the road towards Wichita, KS where we saw some great storm structure and a least one tornado.
We hve now tied the record for Coud 9 Tours of 4 chase days leading to tornadoes. The record was set in in 2004 by Tour 2 (I was on that tour as well). We still have Tuesday - Saturday and we just need one more tornado chase to break it. Stay tuned to see if the record gets broken......
