Currently sitting in a hotel in the northern portion of OKC while the line of storms we chased all afternoon finally catches up. The outflows from this line were incredible, with reports of 70 mph winds in some of the areas we passed through. I took some awesome video of the 3-dimensional clouds rolling directly overhead as well as some of the greenage we saw, but I haven't dumped it onto the computer yet. We also saw a couple of wall clouds including one I felt certain was going to get its act together and possibly drop a funnel, but it never did. We also saw a portion of the Vortex 2 team, including a radar truck and bunches of roadside meteorological stations. Very eventful day, but no tornadoes.Tomorrow is the final run down I-35 to Dallas to catch my flight, so I probably won't dump off pictures or edit videos from today until I get back. It's been fun, but it's not the end of chasing this year as I'm sure I'll get more chases in back home.
Edit: We just had a burst of pea-sized hail. Looking at the radar there may be more to come.
