Day 114. Storm Chasing
So far 54 tornadoes have been reported from today’s storm, with Mississippi and Alabama getting the brunt of the storm, as was expected. Wasn’t planning on chasing today (if I was, my plan was to stay at the SE-corner of Missouri last night, and then to follow the storms across the south-central U.S. in the morning).

Day 106. Missouri Backroads
Chased my first storm since coming out to the mid-west. Unfortunately, the most I experienced was some strong winds, rain, and a little bit of lightning. Followed the storm across NW Kansas through St. Joseph, Missouri before giving up. Below shot was from my one-hour trip on back-roads, weaving between farmland, occasionally passing a tractor or two:
When I got passed by a retro-fitted Jeep with a WWII-style machine gun rack sticking up from the passenger side and a 10-year old boy sitting behind the wheel with his mom in the passenger seat, I finally decided it was time to stick to the main roads. I can’t apologize enough for not getting a picture of them, but frankly, I was pretty horrified at the time and didn’t want to be too obvious about my efforts to photograph them. Sadly, the best I managed was a picture of their garage, which openly displayed to me the reason why (a) I got lost so many times and (b) why I almost got into so many accidents:
The entire garage was lined with these signs

Dirt Road; Nebraska
I followed a bunch of back-roads in Nebraska today until I got stuck on a single-lane dirt road (not shown here) and had to drive in reverse for a mile to get back to the other dirt-road (which I also had no idea how to get back home from). Every intersection on that road had clear visibility of 100% nothing for miles, and any road signs I passed were riddled with bullet holes. It was still remarkably beautiful and I didn’t see another person for over an hour while traveling on these roads:
