May 15 2009 gust front in Oklahoma

This picture reminded me of the awesome squall line that rumbled through Kansas and Oklahoma on May 15th, our last Plains chase day before I flew back home. We saw a lot that day, including many members of the Vortex 2 chase team, but we didn't see any tornadoes. I came across this picture while putting together a pictorial guide book for my 2009 chase season both out in the Plains and back here in Virginia. Most chasers seem to gravitate toward publishing DVDs/videos, but I lean toward hard copy as my preferred method of expression. Thus this will be my third chase-related book. Not many copies of my first two have sold, but that's not the reason I write and publish them.
