2003


2003 was the first year I drove for Silver Lining Tours and I've loved every second of it since. May 15th was my first big tornado day, seeing 5 of them out on the Texas Panhandle. That was also my first day driving in intense storm conditions so that was quite a trip! At the time, it was all I could do to keep the van on the road! These days it's a piece of cake but it was quite a baptism by fire!

We got to see a lot on the tour, between extensive tornado damage at Moore, Oklahoma to the big panhandle day to several more big supercells, it was my best year yet.
