Storms of March 30, 2006

Chased with Scott Bell today. We targeted the area southwest of McAlester and by the time we got there (we left about 230 from fort smith, ar) the storms that had been in s central OK came right to us. We got in good position near Gerty and saw nice rotation.

we got a little too far behind after it crossed the n-s hwy 75 and we got a little lost trying to follow a dirt road e to hwy 31...we came out at Stuart and by that time a new storm had formed NW of McAlester so it all worked out. We saw very little rotation in the updraft and by the time we got caught up again after McAlester it was dark. We got on hwy 31 and now the trying to find a decent vantage point in the mountains game began....it was sooooooooooo fun. We followed the storm all the way into Fort Smith and nearly the whole way the wall cloud was pretty sustained albeit changing forms. This is from Quinton, OK looking ENE.
