Day 16: Back home, safe and sound

The storm chase team arrived back in Blacksburg at about 4 p.m. today. After a round of hugs and goodbyes, we scattered to our respective homes. I'm very happy to be back with my wife and in my home after more than two weeks away, but the first day or two back always feels a little strange with no target zone to drive to and no chase team meetings. I have no doubt I'll miss the members of this very special team that experienced so much together.

There is still much video and photos to go through as we analyze the storms we saw during this trip.

And I'll be getting back to examining Southwest Virginia weather, too. It was sticky when I got home today, which is unlike the last couple of weeks that had some cool days.

The most recent video from Storm Chase 2008 was posted May 23. It shows a tornado near WaKeeney, Kansas.
