Orientation

This evening was orientation, led by Silver Lining Tours' co-owner Roger Hill, who has been verified by the Guinness Book of World Records as having seen more tornadoes than any other human being. His presentation was jam-packed with helpful information such as what to expect and how to properly behave around developing severe weather. He also included a Meteorology 101 briefing, which verified some of the concepts I thought Iknew

There are three different types of days to anticipate on a tour- red is a chase day, denoting the probability of active situations, yellow is for days that have a likelihood of severe weather (and can progress into a chase day) and green is for non-active days. Adventures such as sight-seeing, trips to New Mexico, and...bowling? are options for those days. I'm glad I took a semester of bowling at UVM!

It was a pleasure to meet the group I'll be travelling with for the next week, especially Lisa and Sara, whom I had connected with previously via Facebook. Now it's off to bed- I'm told we may drive as much as 500 miles tomorrow.

Good night, OKC! Tomorrow we ride...I mean...drive.
