One of the hardest decisions I've had to make in recent years was to not chase today. I could list all the main factors (too much overcast and limited visibility, no mobile radar access, storms traveling in excess of 60 mph, ...) but the truth is I didn't feel much like doing anything today. In fact, I even voluntarily went to see a doctor today to check out this respiratory crud to make sure it wasn't morphing into bronchitis or something worse. That in itself says a LOT about the decision to stay home vs. chase.
So, I missed an epic storm chase day in Mid-Atlantic history. Kudos to those who went out and witnessed some of the most awesome East Coast storms of recent years. Oh, and excuse me for my teeth grinding and fits of frustration today...between the naps on the couch.

I share your pain Chris. I could have gone today, but opted to stay back...will be leaving home for our trips west in a few weeks, so it is tough to leave for these local/regional trips, especially with my son recovering from a major injury. Probably would have been a tough but productive chase day...hate to see the storms move through populated areas though. I wonder if our pattern will keep us east of the wide open spaces of the western plains, and increasing the potential for damaging hits on more populated areas. -Dave
