What else can I say?    :(    :)    :(

So far I have had no replys from any S2K members that aren't members of WxChat.com...if you don't know how ask :) there are several mets on the site and even this site that can help you if needed. I welcome you all and hope that the turn out is better than it has been thusfar.

Aaron, I only posted about it here once. Two different board, different members. My apologizes for feeling like posting something you already heard about.

Of course, I don't want to belly ache. You already posted the directions (at least once) and I am not sure what to do. It seems that I am not the only one not sure what to do after the explanation. Most posters here unfortunately access the off topic forum more than the weather related ones.

Let me try.

Tom, your trying to be as close to a severe event as possible. You pick a city and move from there as you feel needed, but you can move only until 3:00PM EST.

So, Tonight I would start at Topeka. Tomorrow morning, I would move west to more favorable conditions (or which ever way) in Dodge City. Then before 2PM CST i'll move into SW NE and thats about it.

Sure, I have the right idea about it, David. The concept of the "Chase" is great, but there is something about it that is keeping me from wanting to take part in it.

I am not usually online during the mid-morning to Noon/very early afternoon hours.
