Day 3 - May 15th, 2004

 After an exciting day at SPC, today we are moving only slightly north to Piedmont for the Annual Storm Chase picnic.  What a blast.  As you can see from the pictures below, it was a very good turn out.  Even has a USA Today reporter there and he took some pictures of us that appearred in the next day's paper.  After the picnic we drove on north into Kansas to get ready to intercept our first good storms of the season the next day.
