Today I left Dallas in the early afternoon. I went South on I35 and stopped near the 35W/35E Split in Hill County. I observed a rather slowly rotating wall cloud on the forward flank of the storm as it approached. I sat in Hillsboro, near Carls Corner and observed a brief needle tornado to the West.

This years chase season for me was very brief. Starting with the Fire Department, getting married and funds being allocated to other areas slimmed the season down to only a couple of days this year. I chased a couple more days during the season of 2011; however, nothing significant was observed.
