My god damn internet aircard quit working on the way out to our target this morning. I got on the phone with Verizon and went through a ton of trouble shooting and then she told me the only way to fix it was to reset the key something or some crap like that and I had to be in a verizon covered area to do that, which I wasn’t, so I could post anything today. I couldn’t get hardly any data. We got to stop a couple times for quick wifi checks. That sucked really bad. We got on a storm southeast of Woodward and stayed on it for a while. The storm ahead of it was more discrete so we decided to jump ahead to that one. Right after we left our storm for that one the storm we were going to went tornado warned. It had a wet RFD notch and a little bit or a scraggley lowering when we first approached it from the back, but nothing serious. We stayed on that storm for an hour or so until it started crapping out and then came home.

I have no idea what went wrong today. I don’t think the low level shear kicked in like it was supposed to or the storms were tapping into the high instability and good moisture. Something definitely went wrong. I’m not going to try and figure it out now because tomorrow is another chase day so I have to do some quick forecasting and go to bed. We are meeting up at 9:30 in the morning to head west. I haven’t picked a target yet, but I’ll post one in the morning before I leave.

My aircard should be working tomorrow too. I just need to call Verizon in the morning and have them reset it. If it works I will post updates and maps from the road.
