Wednesday was a tough day to play. Our initial instincts to travel north from Ogallala to Valentine were probably correct. Too bad we didn't follow them. We broke north in the middle of the afternoon. Turns out the one storm that produced was about an hour ahead of us in SD.

So we tacked east out of valentine and followed a line of storms along highway 12. Along the NE SD border. Some after dark funnel chasing. Then landed in Sioux Falls SD about 1am.

Thursday - woke up and blazed east through MN into WI following a high risk forecast.
Beautiful country but the storms were really unchaseable. A line of big cells broke early and travelled too fast. Some as fast as 70 miles and hour. Tough road network. Beautiful country but I'll never chase there again... Images to come.

Today (thursday) transition day. We'll go west to NE. May have a small play tomorrow. My last day in the Alley. Last gasp for a tough little season.
