VORTEXpursuit.com Live was up for the most part yesterday, as I had live video streaming for about 8+ hours during the chase! I intercepted the tornado warned storm in Wichita County, TX yesterday, albeit a little too late to get to the tornadoes. But nonetheless, the storm had excellent structure! I observed some mild rotation to the east of Electra, TX along US Highway 287, but as the storm moved to the east it was slowly weakening. The storm had an impressive radar signature for a while, and clearly showed a hook for a duration of its life. After that storm weakened, there wasn't much to the rest of the day and called it a day and went home.
