Written by David Reimer: This camera was placed for a timelapse originally and would be used in the primary video. However, since the primary video recorder was out of service for this day, which we found out a few hours after the video was taken, this video will have to do. Please notice the term backup and secondary in the paragraph above, meaning this video is not as high quality as Connor’s would usually be, but since there was not a major event that day, all is good.

What is in this video is the initiation that began at 7 PM and by 7:15 PM (15 Minutes later), a large developed supercell had developed to the northwest of Nacona, Tx. I met up with Connor in Nacona, TX and we headed west to the FM-1816/US82 Merge. From there we headed south where we encountered the TVN Research Vehicle and about a dozen other chaser vehicles. This is where we recorded the time lapse about 10 Miles Northwest of Montague, TX. From there we headed toward Montague, where the chase ended when I locked myself out of my vehicle. The next three hours were spent in Montague, TX at a steak restaurant waiting for the spare key to show up.
