Went after the system today. Straight across Iowa. It was one of the most baffling days I've ever had out here. We found ourselves in a locally issued Watch Box (tornado) in the vicinity of Iowa City. But it just didn't add up. We could'nt figure out why it was issued. Wish we knew what they were seeing or thinking. Very strange. Farther north or east would have been more promising. But we were behind the advancing system and reluctant to press into Illinois.

We did chase a strange late storm that was backbuilding from the south. Very odd. Gave up and pulled into "The Worlds Largest Truckstop." Sorry, forgot my camera. I knew you'd be dissapointed.

Back to Iowa City for the night.

Tomorrow looks like a dangerous situation farther to the east. But we'll be heading back to Omaha to pick up a lost bag at the airport. Then we have some down time. Maybe go up to Rapid City to check out some family history.

We'll likely drop down to the southern plains for the weekend. Warren is making his way to TX as it looks like a South West Flow is trying to set up. We'll probably meet up down around Lubbock. But it's too early to tell.
