A single tornadic supercell redeems not only all my autumn chasing efforts, but western Oklahoma's years of dormancy.

A swarm of supercells offer few Kodak moments, but a hail intercept for the ages.

Panhandle Magic is a year-round thing... best structure of the season!

Nontornadic supercells train over the southern High Plains with decent October structure.

Sucker storms ruin one of the better OK fall chase days in recent years for many, myself included.

Nebraska's long-awaited comeback takes the cake for the Plains season, but poor decision-making leaves me behind the curve for most of the day.

Lots of miles with little reward on one of the longest single-day drives of my chasing career.

The TX Panhandle once again proves its incapability of disappointing, even in its worst years.

The untimely combination of Memorial Day weekend and a death ridge looming on the models leads to one of my dumber desperation trips.

Every ounce of pain inflicted by Oklahoma and HIGH risk days over the last five years is redeemed in a matter of hours...

Classic supercells in classic chase country... no complaints, even with no tubes to show for it!

Laziness and poor forecasting lead to witnessing lackluster storms on a significant tornado day.

An overperforming dryline setup marks the beginning of Oklahoma's 2011 comeback!

Sometimes CAPE and SRH don't matter even with initiation, apparently...

Another reminder of how little CAPE and SRH matter when initiation fails...

The Texas Big Country lives up to its reputation for HP supercells, but a brief early tornado and structure at sunset salvage the day.

We choose a discrete dryline storm over messy frontal activity, missing tornadoes but scoring photogenic structure, mammatus and lightning.

The tail-end Charlie pays dividends on a dryline supercell outbreak close to home.

After a close call with the cap, supercells develop at sunset and race away into the wastelands of western Kansas.

Supercells close to home are enjoyed after a slow start to the season, but capping and marginal shear preclude any tornadic offerings.

Isolated, high-based supercell develops on the tongue of upper 40s dew points on a desperation day.

A warm front rider saves the day from cap busting, eventually spitting out an ill-timed tube.
