    Full Video of Storm Chase on 8\19\09

    I was laying on the couch when my alert when off. I grabbed my camera and left with my map. I went to the

    Shell station to get some coffee, lay out my map and try to figure out which way it was heading.

    I had my NOOA radio with me as I followed it on the map. At first I thought it was going to follow the the Illinois river like it did a few years ago when the town of Utica was hit because they mentioned it was moving towards Chillocothe, IL.

    I finally figured where it was heading and where I could get the best shot to cut it off then it changed course a bit.

    I decided to hit it head on!
