I met my Dad and sister in Thornburg, Va, and headed west into Spotsylvania County to intercept a line of tornadic storms. Here are some lessons learned:

1. A navigator/spotter that just had one eye dilated is not ideal.
2. A 2004 Honda Civic, in no way shape or form, can be considered as "off-road".
3. Trees + bad roads + disorientation + tornado nearby = soiled pants.
4. Debris falling around the car isn't necessarily a good thing.
5. Seeing a tornado is only a good thing when it's farther than 200 yards away and isn't moving towards you.

All in all, a good chase, but I'm not sure I'd want to do that one again. Read more at my Dad's blog.
