Storm Chase 2017 - Day 1 Weds 10th May

Left Childress, where we stayed overnight, after lunch and headed south to intercept a supercell coming off the Cap Rock Escarpment to the NW of Paducah. Followed it north for rest of the afternoon before shaking it off in southern Oklahoma then dropping back south in Texas near Chillicothe on Hwy 287 to watch a storm developing further south on 'tail-end charlie'. This had a solid updraft and signs of strong inflow and meso. Followed it north into Oklahoma where we got cored by golf ball-sized hail as we hooped over the Red River. Ccame of the hail core then went back to storm under the hook on radar - where we intercepted a weak tornado crossing the road.
