Today was a bust for Jennifer and me, tornado-wise, as I targeted the area a county or two north of Abilene (near Anson and Haskell). \u00a0The main event for the day (which was basically the ONLY<\/em> event) was the tornado south of Seymour. \u00a0Jennifer and I had a quick lunch in Anson, and storm towers were already going up in our vicinity right after lunch (around 1 p.m.). \u00a0 Soon afterwards, the Seymour storm developed, with the tornado along U.S. 183 south of Seymour around 2 p.m.\/19Z. \u00a0I thought that hanging back to the southwest was a better idea than trying to get to the Seymour storm, and it is very doubtful that we would have made it in time for the Seymour tornado if we had tried to get there immediately after lunch.<\/p>\n
