Nice catch John. Are you still updating your chase logs?

Yes, please check them out on my Web page - same as before; this won't let me post links.

I knew I should have gone east.  I followed a warned cell north.

Good video! I was chasing near Lake Springfield for a tornado there. Came in on the rain-wrapped side...so we were close to driving into it!

It seems like Manchester's become a tornado magnet the last few years!

[YourIntertainment]

@x00p3 Definitely seems to be a pattern of tornadoes running from Patterson and Barrow area towards Manchester.
