2004
2004 was a great
chase year. I decided that rather than do one ten day tour early in the
season I would do two six day tours towards the later part of the season
hoping to chase in some different territory. I definitely got my wish as
we ended up chasing in Colorado and Nebraska a lot of the time and saw
several tornadoes including my favorite of all time, the Chappell, Nebraska tornado
on June 10th. All in all there were three separate tornado
days over the 13 days I was on the plains.
