I am looking for a chase partner for this weekend. Or just someone willing to let me caravan with them. I currently live in the twin cities. I have a car and no time commitments, I can leave any time and chase as long as needed. I don't have data, so chasing solo outside of my normal area is not a good idea for me. Just let me know if any of you are interested. I got tested 2 days ago and it came back negative, I also have all the PPE. Anyways, just let me know if you are willing to let me do either, thanks.

Epic photo ops in the badlands to be had.

Please warm 700mb don't get in the way'

so.... with the current restrictions regarding COVID lockdown on some Indian Reservation lands, as well as the fact that I carry a GAT which is not allowed on rez land, I am working on a GRx placefile to outline Reservation areas. I am starting with SD and ND for now because of the urgency for this weekends chases, but will eventually add more states as I get time to plot them out. Here is a link to the placefile. Currently set to refresh every 10 minutes (because I am actively updating it). Once I finish it, I will change the refresh to much longer. I have 3 reservation areas completed so far, more to come http://www.twistergeeks.net/placefiles/TWG-IndianReservationLand.txt Feel free to share

On to the next event

What a downtrend

I know I was told to avoid the Pine Ridge res after dark when I lived up there a few years ago (also was chasing solo at the time). Probably would be fine if you're just passing through but I guess they've had some issues in the past. Mitchell friends said that was the worst of all of them up there.

They're one of, if not the poorest tribe. I'd already not be super excited to be in that area. Restrictions would make it even tougher. I'll still probably chase this weekend, but yikes.

Well, 00z model runs make the drive look like a waste. Don't have much else going on though.

I just heard through the grapevine that a chaser was arrested today by the Cheyenne River Reservation, facing 1 felony, and 1 misdemeanor for bypassing the checkpoint after being refused entry. This the reservation just south of the Pine Ridge reservation.

Bet it was Derek Smith lol

Guy is a danger to others when it comes to chasing

tomorrow intrigues me but given that the road network of western SD is bad to awful and many of those roads cross rez land, which is effectively off-limits at the moment I don't know if I will even try making a play for it right now

Wrong channel

Deleted my message

Pretty sure the pine ridge res makes up about a 1/3 of that 10%. Is badlands NP able to be traveled through? It'd be cool to sit somewhere in the park and watch them roll in.

North Unit is open, South Unit is not

Gotcha.

CH@SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE D@Y

Definitely seems like decent wind threat in that Central Rockies region

Shocked it isn't higher with mention of 85mph wind gusts (edited)

Lol this any of you?

I know her, she's a co-worker of one of my chase partners at Paycom.

Her! There was a big beefy dude pounding down some subway in there lol

That jeep belongs to a woman I know that. She lived here in Norman before moving to Yukon I believe.

What a waste

Another bust in 2020

Least the Front Range and the Gulf Coast had fun today

Well that blows

Bad pun if you didn't get it

Only the 3rd derecho ever to originate on the west side of the Divide I believe, very rare event

The others originated in the Nevada/Utah desert and moved up into northern Utah and SE Idaho up into SW Wyoming

Just dropping by... my research mentor told me he saw it in Boulder, CO. He told me about it in weekly check in meeting.
