Chase Recap:

I hopped into the Moose with Tom, Deb and Alexa. We headed out to the Texas Panhandle on I-40 before exiting at Shamrock.

From Shamrock we headed north, getting on tornado warned storms. We didn’t witness any tornadoes, but got into some hail near Booker.

Stayed mostly on back roads, and ended up near Glazier, TX looking back into the scuddy base of a storm. We had some funnel look alikes, but they were not tornadoes apparently. They looked possibly down due to terrain.

Funnel or look alike in the Texas Panhandle

We headed back on I-40 after a disappointing Sunday.
