Chase Summary

2011 was a deadly tornado season which featured several noteworthy outbreaks. Chase wise, it was a great second season for myself. I was able to chase bigger events such as 4/9 in IA, 4/19 in IL, 5/25 and 6/20 in NE. On the other hand there were also a few events that I missed, including the 5/24 event in OK. 4/9 and 6/20 chases were probably my favorite in my first 2 years of chasing. Overall it was another action packed and fun season. With some changes, 2012 should also be a great season.
