19 May 2013
It’s a new day here in Hays, Kansas. After a pep-talk from our 1/C Midshipmen to
their teams’, morale is up and, according to the models, this could be the best
weather SWIFT 2013 has seen thus far.
Beginning of the day our target area is Wichita, Kansas. After our morning weather brief, the van
getting packed, some handy man work, and a continental breakfast, the team is
flying down the highway jamming to our favorite tunes. The plains are beautiful
this morning.
After a
quick lunch stop at Taco Bell and a gas station in Hayesville, KS we are back
on the road chasing them naders. We are en route to Winfield which is our new
target area in hopes of seeing the coveted nader. Nader being Tornado.
After entering chase mode and
chasing for almost two hours we finally saw a Tornado touch down 10 miles
northwest of South Haven. Morale was
high that our chase had finally paid off and everyone was in the mood to go for
gold so we continue our chase. After following the storm south and counting on
tail end Charlie, the team continues to hope for a two-in-one day.
Our Nader From 19 May
