 <\/p>\n

May 15th…time to start Tour 3! \u00a0My drivers were Bob S. and Chris G., and we had storms scheduled to develop in the Texas Panhandle. \u00a0We made it out of Oklahoma City in decent time and found ourselves looking at stuff going up somewhere west or southwest of Stinnett. \u00a0I have totally forgotten the details up until the point where we saw a cell organize nicely southwest of Stinnett. \u00a0Temperature\/dew point spreads were fairly large, low-level moisture was so-so, and the cloud base for this storm was fairly high. \u00a0We were on (east-west) road 152 between Dumas and Stinnett, and wound up heading to a viewing spot a couple of miles southwest of Stinnett to watch the rotating storm base approach. \u00a0We beat the baseball-sized hail which fell west of Stinnett on 152 by 5-10 minutes.<\/p>\n
