April 7, 2008 Storm Chase

Date: April 7, 2008

Chase Description: We caught a beautiful supercell in Archer County, Texas on April 7th. This was my first real chase of the year, and it could have gone worse. I didn’t get out of school until 4:15, so I missed the only tornado of the day (near Wichita Falls), but we drove quickly and made it up from Dallas just in time to see this storm.
