2010 Chase Season Highlights


2010 was by far a long season. We spent most of the chase season in MS/AL/GA. We chased well over 1000+ miles. We intercepted the infamous Yazoo City, MS cell in its dying phase, but it still greeted us with strong RFD winds. Captured a couple of ragged short lived funnels in MS/AL. During the middle of the chase we were delayed, and had to abandon the chase temporarily and push a car out of the mud. Once we were back on the chase we intercepted our 7th tornado warned cell of the day, this occuring during the night hours. This storm did not produce a tornado but it gave us a grand lightning show. Most chases were tough since most of the supercells were HP as PWATS were in the 1.5"-2.0" in most of our chases, which made spotting any tornado extremely difficult. Overall still enjoyed the challenge of the chase.
