From the start of the day, I really felt like this would or could be a shot for redemption. I knew it was not a significant chance for tornadoes but I did want to see something big. My last two chases did not give me all that I had hoped for but even then, this chase seemed like a better potential to see something good. My target at the start of the day was Liberal, Kansas, a location I had not been to since probably 2013. It seemed this would be not only a good starting point but possibly a great interception location, as well. As time went on, storms started to fire off over in Colorado so this gave me hope and as they were taking off, their path was leading me to believe I needed to push north towards Garden City. I began to push north but then, just north of Sublette, I decided to stop and get some time lapse. The sky above me was looking pretty awesome with the cloud striations I was witnessing, as well. Finally, the storms coming in from Colorado were in view but they were not as impressive both on radar and visually. Everything within me was beginning to feel discouraged because I thought I had struck out as it seemed all the storms that were developing were nothing more than popcorn convection. I was starting to decide if I should head home as I knew I would be chasing the next day and I still also had a long drive to go. As I was about to make the decision, I began to notice some cells popping up south of me and a Mesoscale Discussion would follow soon after. Now I had a new target to focus on and I was on the road for it. Slapout, Oklahoma seemed like the place to be if I wanted to be on a good road for a solid intercept so this became my destination, at first. Once on US Highway 412 East, two things became apparent. One, that this was one very messy storm and then two, it was crossing the highway. I was not very happy about this because I felt like my view was ruined, even though I did get a neat shot of it with a wall cloud from near Balko, Oklahoma earlier. I wanted a really good shot of this storm and everything on radar was just a confirmation to that. To get this, I would now have to drop south to Texas Highway 15 and get to Booker, Texas, just for an optimistic chance. Finally, all of this time on the road and all of the stress with the rush, I finally got some of the most beautiful footage I had captured in a very long time. The coloring of the sky, the clouds, the sounds, it just all became very mesmerizing. It was very apparent that this storm was probably not finished as it went tornado warned very quickly but in order to get into a good intercept position, my only chance for that would be to get south on Texas Highway 305 and head towards Lipscomb. Yet, I was also faced with the fact that darkness was setting in quickly. That’s when I pulled off the road and set up for a night time timelapse. This is where I talk about something I never discussed in the episode itself so get ready. While setting up, I saw what looked like a very big lowering coming down, possibly a tornado, very quickly but the contrast was so bad that I could not tell for sure. I mean, this happened so quickly that I could not say anything with fact or certainty. Though, I did manage to capture 3 photos and while they do not tell a tale, they definitely leave me with more questions than answers. Nothing in my research since this chase ever led me to any resolution over what really happened so I chose not to speculate on it all. This chase was one where the disappointment was very locked in but then, the miraculous turnaround near Booker, Texas made it all worthwhile. Yes, the shot near Balko, Oklahoma where I saw a wall cloud was also nice but the colors of the sky and the cloud structure was really my icing on the cake for the chase as a whole. Thank you so much for enduring this season of the series with me and I look forward to seeing you in the next episode, which proved to be a special one in a few ways. More about that over there so go check it out.
