Partners: Dylan Inmon Target: Blanchard, OK Distance: ˜150 miles Duration: ˜3 hours |
Storms approached the OKC metro from the SW. I did not have any one to watch Dylan, so I packed everything in the car and took him on his very first storm chase...although he will not remember because he had just celebrated his first birthday a few days earlier. I parked the car just north of the Hwy. 9 and I-44 Spur intersection. The storm was moving very fast as it approach, and formed a wall cloud to our west. Then, it produced lots of CG lightning in our vicinity. Dylan was much more upset at the wiper blades though. As the storms moved north and east we headed back to I-35 and Norman. I watched the storms for about 10 minutes, and consulted with Robbie (who I spoke to as we waited, because he was out chasing on his own and our paths crossed). The storms dissipated quickly though, and I took Dylan back home...his mother was less than pleased that I took him with me. Currently, pictures from this chase are still unaccounted for.
