Early

Mike and I headed to Tulsa for an early season chase in NE Oklahoma.  We stopped at a gas station on exit 236 on I-44 to check data.  Better forcing appeared to be to our south along the dryline, so we adjusted our path and headed south to Henryetta on I-40.  Oops!  We watched towers go up to the north, but they were too far away to chase from our new location.  We watched a line of storms go up to our west along the dryline, and chased a storm north of Okemah.  After chasing the line for a bit, we called the chase, as it was getting too dark and most of the action was to our NE in Missouri, where a significant tornadic outbreak occurred.  Currently, pictures from this chase are still unaccounted for.
