I'm writing this presently between tours. During the last tour, I chased with my tour group for the 4 days leading up to the deadly April 27th outbreak. Every day we were able to intercept tornado warned storms, within an hour of my initial targets. We ended up catching a nice rope tornado on the 25th about an hour south of Dallas, TX (seen below). We also observed several funnels, and experienced some incredible RFD (Rear Flank Downdraft) winds.
The tour ended the day before April 27th, a mixed blessing. While we would have been apart of an incredible outbreak of tornadoes, I would not have enjoyed the devastation, or terrain available for storm chasing.
