- I arrived in Norman OK on
- Cloud9 Tours and had dinner
- at the local Outback Steakhouse.

- May 19 was dull, so we met up
- with George Kourounis and his
- fellow Canadian chasers for
- some pizza and the Simpsons!

- Dueling anemometers!
- On May 20, Bill, Chris and I
- headed up north for the remote

- May 21 in Nebraska. The surface
- low had deepened a lot, and was
- pulling in SE winds at 30mph.
- Too bad there was no moisture
- to go with it!

- Goodland KS.
|
- The SE wind picked up to nearly
- 50mph on I-80 in Nebraska!
|
- The storms that did form in WY
- were moisture-starved. They
- produced numerous
- gustnadoes though.
|
- Another gustnado.
