Details
I couldn't get out of the house until evening. By then the show was underway and I was hours away. I went for it anyway, hoping against odds there might be something left by the time I got there. I came in woefully late to see only remnants of what had been a tornado producing minisupercell.
Conclusion
I probably should not have even tried on this one. Driving out there to see a storm long after it was done was a futile gesture and only rubbed in what I had missed. I believe the storm only produced a few small or dust whirl type tornadoes, but missing any "backyard" tornado stings.
Lessons Learned
- It's better to stay home than make an entirely futile effort on a storm you're going to miss.
