AFTER COOKING BURGERS MOST OF THE AFTERNOON FOR THE HOLY TRINITY HAMBURGER FRY, I GO OUT TO THE PICKUP TO PULL UP THE RADAR AND DECIDE IT LOOKS TOO GOOD TO WATCH THIS FROM THE INSIDE OF A LARGE GYM. EARLIER WE COOKED 150 BURGERS JUST WHILE IT WAS OVER WEATHERFORD.

I GO TO PICK UP MY CHASE PARTNER BUT COULDN’T BUDGE RICH AWAY FROM THE OSU/ST. JOES GAME. IMAGES BELOW ARE FROM 4W OF OKARCHE LOOKING WSW TOWARDS THE 8W AREA.

NICE INFLOW AT THIS POINT

START TO HEAR HAIL HITTING JOE’S BARN JUST TO MY S AND DECIDE TO RELOCATE.

NOW 1W OF OKARCHE LOOKING BACK SW. I’VE DROVE TOO FAR EAST SO I’M HEADING BACK WEST TO GET A CLOSER LOOK.

NOW 1.25 W LOOKING STRAIGHT SOUTH AND THIS LOOKS CLOSE ENUF.

IF YOU LOOK REAL CLOSE YOU CAN SEE THE FUNNEL STARTING TO FORM.

MUCH MORE VISIBLE HERE.

THE FUNNEL DOES NOT APPEAR TO REACH THE GROUND, BUT HANK BAKER, CHANNEL 4 CHASER, HAS AN IMAGE THAT SHOWS THE DEBRIS CLOUD TO THE GROUND FROM HWY 3 & 81 JCT AREA LOOKING WNW.

A LITTLE CLOSER LOOK

AND NOW EVEN CLOSER.

AND YES, EVEN CLOSER.

THE SIRENS ARE BLOWING IN OKARCHE AND RICH IS SO INTO THE GAME HE THINKS THE ST. JOES CLOCK KEEPER IS JUST GOING A LITTLE HEAVY ON THE SUBSTITUTION BUZZER

NOW BEGINNING TO LIFT AND GETTING SMALLER.

IT STARTS TO RAIN HARD AND I’M ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE STORM BUT CLOSE TO A TV FOR THE 2^ND HALF. I DON’T THINK YOU’LL SEE ME WITH MANY TORNADO PICS FROM THE NORTH SIDE OF THE STORM LOOKING SOUTH, BECAUSE THAT’S USUALLY THE HAIL SIDE OF THE STORM. BUT THIS TIME I DIDN’T WANT TO GET TOO FAR AWAY AND MISS THE 2^ND HALF OF OSU/ST. JOE’S. THE ENTIRE CHASE PROBABLY LASTED 20 MINUTES AND 8 MILES.
