Started yesterday in Hutchinson, KS and moved on to track potential storm risk up near Topeka. We did well and caught initialisation and followed some nice cells east towards Kansas City. Not wanting to stray too far we bailed out around 4pm as there was no chance of anything going too severe:
Today was a long shuffle south as we need to be in Dallas Thursday afternoon. We visited the Twister The Movie Museum in Wakita, OK – a town that was literally pulled down for the film then partly rebuilt by the film company (many of the houses were in disrepair anyway, including the one used as Aunt Meg’s House). Here we are next to the actual device (Dorothy 1) used in the film, and outside in front of the iconic Wakita water tower:

All good stuff Neil I have fond memories of the area and Dallas where i worked for many months. Having seen some wild weather in my brief lifetime I was taken aback by the torrential thunderstorm we had here close to Bodmin last week and we are now out in the middle of nowhere with my Ham radio Antenna tower now all to susceptible to strikes !
All the best .
