This was more of a "warning chase". Tornado warnings were issued for counties just south of where I was (Norman). I decided that I had nothin' to lose, so I hopped into the car and headed south on I35. By the time I got into the Arbuckles, the sun had set and the tornadic cell were moving further into southeastern Oklahoma. With that, I turned around and headed home. Not really much of a chase, but my intentions were chaseful in nature...
