May 29, 2001 Supercell Chase
This chase started late after I got off work at 3:30pm in Wichita Falls. I headed out US70 to the Panhandle. Since I did not have internet or a nowcaster this day, I was planning to react to whatever happened after I got out there. By the time I was in Motley Co, the storm near Plainview had been warned on and I headed west to try to get north to an eventual intercept. About the time I was about to turn north, the storms down to my south actually looked much more visually impressive than the Plainview storm to my northwest.
Storm to my south near Garza Co. Texas.
After a little more driving north, I finally was under the anvil and close to the storm's path. Since I was pretty far to the east, I worked my way back to the east to just short of Silverton, Texas. Once I was able to get to the higher elevation, I could finally see the storm's base.

I stood in place for about 15 minutes watching rain to my east get pulled into the incredible inflow and watched the giant hole in the bottom of the storm rotate and get closer to me. Unfortunately, I was stuck on "awe" and got some pretty interesting video but no still pictures of that feature. Here are some video stills:
At this point, even though I hadn't seen anything that I could be sure was a tornado, but I was feeling that the day was a great chase from watching the "hole in the storm" rotate and move right at me. As the rotating area came to about overhead, I decided to move back to the southeast. I moved down the road about a mile and stopped to watch more, then saw the huge convoys of chasers coming through. Next as the outflow began to reach me, I headed back east off the caprock and down to almost the town of Quitaque. I stopped and watched the outflow catch up with myself and another half million storm chasers clogging the road. 
Another view to the north as the dirt began to blow into Quitaque...or Turkey?
A view back to the west as I left town. What would the spotters be saying? :)
I made a somewhat questionable decision to go east on 86, which left me with what would be a great view but underneath intermittent hail for the next hour. After getting east for probably 10 minutes trying to stay out of hail, I stopped in a crowd of chasers to stop and look and was stunned by this view!
In time, it would become the most stunning supercell I've ever seen.

A tornado is certainly not required to have one of the best chase experiences that I've ever had.
