Day three of our storm chase adventures was just as much fun as the two previous days, although my wife didn't get to see a tornado. We left Carlsbad and headed north towards Roswell yesterday afternoon. Radar was already painting a nasty supercell thunderstorm south of US 70…

Diane and I left Carlsbad around 2:30 PM MDT Thursday afternoon and headed north up US Hwy 285 towards Artesia, New Mexico. A LP Supercell Thunderstorm had already produced golfball size hail at Lakewood by 2:40 PM. When we arrived in Lakewood at 2:43 PM there was still penny size hail left on the ground. We then headed east of Artesia on US Hwy 82 towards Loco Hills. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch was in effect for Eddy and Lea Counties, with a Tornado Watch in effect for much of west Texas.
By the time we got to Loco Hills the storms had pretty much fallen apart with lots of debris clouds and virga everywhere. We encountered virga bombs with pockets of blowing dust…

Update- At least one person has been killed and 21 injured during yesterdays tornadoes in Oklahoma.

Violent tornadoes ripped across Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa, and Illinois today. I missed this outbreak since I was working, and this is just a taste of the results. Piles of rubble are everywhere in more than one community tonight as search and rescue efforts are underway. Preliminary storms reports from the Storm Prediction Center indicate at least two dozen tornadoes today. Monday looks to potentially just as bad if not worse than today. More today's outbreak later.

I have enjoyed working as the Eddy County Skywarn Coordinator for the past 81/2 years, and as the Regional Skywarn Coordinator for the past 21/2 years. I have been lucky enough to make many new friends via the Skywarn Program and I am very grateful for this.

It has been a pleasure working with all of the forecasters and staff at the Midland National Weather Service Office. When I first met Pat over 10 years ago he was …
