Booked a hotel in Beaumont for tonight. Hail trace team is heading down that way now. Hopefully can scope out stuff a bit tonight and reposition tomorrow for intercept. Stay safe everyone!

@John Choquette (Edmond, OK). Have fun with the 500 other chasers and media that where in that garage? Lol

Lol we didn’t really talk to them too much. I’m glad we don’t really sell video though since everyone was in the same basic spot

Yup. I tried to be sneaky and stay in port arthur to catch the flooding and damage on the western side. Barely got over 70mph winds and 0 flooding. Not even the ditches in the medians.
