May 19 - Chase Day 5 - Supercells in Kansas & Oklahoma

Hello from Wichita, Kansas.

We started the day in Wichita and continued southwest to our target. Storms started to initiate and we got up on the storm. As soon as we got up on it it became rain-wrapped. This storm ended up continuing toward Wichita and causing damage to the city.

We headed south to intercept more cells and chased them into Okmulgee, Oklahoma. We got up on one supercell and it did produce a good wall cloud but just couldn't produce. We called it a chase and headed to Norman for the night. Tomorrow's another moderate risk ... looks like it will be another dangerous and messy day.
