Day 8. Back to Kansas

There were no storms so we decided to take a leisurely drive east back to Wichita from Lamar. We said goodbye to Roger and Elke, put the dogs in the car, and headed east. 6.5 hours later we cheched into our very nice La Quinta Inn in Wichita and went to Old Chicago for dinner and beer.

After dinner, Dave gets a call from his friend, Keith, letting him know that a tornado just went through Norman, Oklahoma, and damage was reported a quarter mile from Roger and Elke's house. After a stressful 45 minutes, we found out that there was only minimal damage to the house, and David's car looked ok.

It's kind of ironic that a tornado passes right by a storm chaser's house and he wasn't even around to see it.
