Quick Post Mortem on First Chase

February 24, 2026 | Post-Mortem

So the February 19 chase was my first of 2026, which means I am officially 30 seasons deep into my career!  This means I have chased at least once every year since it all began in 1997.  Another streak which I am looking to build on is having seen at least ONE tornado each year since 2003.  The Covid year, 2000, nearly ended that streak, but fortunately I landed a puny landspout and a half-ass birdfart.  While neither will ever make the wall, they count.  Covid year was a slow season, fortunately, but I managed to keep the streak alive by the skin of my tornadic teeth.
