5/10/10 Forecast Update IV
The chase is almost upon us! Once again, for the second time in a row before a major chase, I am staying up all night. I don't necessarily do it on purpose, but it just kind of happens. Tonight I am working on revising my research paper which is due tomorrow for my English class. Yes, I am back in school for those of you wondering. This is actually the first time in my college career that I have actually written a research paper. I usually blow them off and don't write them. That explains pretty well why I have been frequently in and out of school. This time I am applying myself and it is my first all-nighter actually doing school work (this blogging session nevertheless). Anyways, back to the important stuff. Once again, the models have come in looking mighty impressive for tomorrow. It is the kind of setup that gets entire towns wiped off the map. I am still planning on Ponca City as the target, but I may shift that an hour or so south to Stillwater. Basically anywhere in OK east of I-35 and north of I-40 looks good tomorrow, extending up into the southeast portion of KS. There are numerous sizeable towns in the area that looks to take a beating tomorrow. First and foremost is Tulsa. If I were a resident of Tulsa I would watch the sky very carefully tomorrow, listen attentively to my weather radio, watch local media, and be prepared to take shelter. I was able to scrape together a few medical supplies to take with me on the chase tomorrow. God willing, I won't need any of it, but the atmosphere certainly looks primed to wreak havoc. If we are on a storm that devastates a populated area, I plan on stopping to help and documenting the tragedy on camera. Like I said before, God willing, I won't be in that situation, but the last time we had a setup this good, Yazoo City, MS was almost completely destroyed. On a brighter note, while looking for a highliter tonight, I found the battery charger to my old SD Camcorder. I will be able to shoot with multiple video cameras tomorrow. I am really looking forward to seeing how the new HD Camcorder performs. I pray that I am afforded the opportunity to get some amazing footage tomorrow, and that God will spare the lives of the people in the paths of the tornados tomorrow.
